bongbongSenator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr., son of deposed former president Ferdinand Marcos, said Friday they won't insist on their father being buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

"As pointed out by at least two of my colleagues at the Senate, the late President, by virtue of his services as a soldier during World War II and his being a former Commander-in-Chief and former President of the Republic, twice elected, is entitled to no less than a state burial. We do not, however, wish to add to the numerous problems besetting President Noynoy Aquino's administration and I am sure the President himself feels likewise," Marcos said in a statement to the media.
