FORMER strongman Ferdinand Marcos was buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani at noon on Friday in surprise but carefully planned rites befitting an ex-president, three decades after his ouster and subsequent death in exile.

FINAL WISH Members of the family of the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos, led by former first lady Imelda Marcos (in black), watch as military officers salute at the coffin containing the remains of the late former president. It was the supposedly the final wish of Marcos, who fell from power in 1986 and died in exile in Hawaii in 1989. AFP PHOTO
