That is absolutely possible...note that between Noynoy and Villar, only Noynoy is straight forward in his answer in running after corrupt officials including GMA, after her term...on the other hand, Villar is just beating around the bush on whether he will go after GMA and her allies after the election...

[SIZE="3"]Gibo favors hero's burial for Marcos[/SIZE]

TUGUEGARAO CITY , Philippines – Administration presidential candidate
Gilbert Teodoro affirmed his stand on extending a state-sponsored hero’s burial for the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos.

“I don’t see anything wrong extending President Marcos a hero’s burial and a place at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. He deserves such rites as a former soldier who fought for the country during the Second World War,” Teodoro told the crowd here during a campaign sortie Friday.

Teodoro spoke in Ilocano, stressing that unless Marcos has been proven guilty of the crimes he has been accused of, it is fitting that the former president should be accorded a state funeral to heal an already politically divided nation.

“He has never been convicted by any competent court. Under the law he is still presumed innocent of all the accusations hurled against him, therefore it is just right to have him buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani being a (war veteran),” Teodoro said.

Teodoro, along with three of the administration’s senatorial bets - former Cabinet secretary Silvestre Bello III, lawyer Raul Lambino and broadcaster Rey Langit - toured several towns in Isabela before speaking to a large crowd here late Friday.

“We should bring this issue to closure for the eventual healing of the nation. We should accord him (Marcos) the honors as a war veteran and not necessarily as a former president,” Teodoro said.

The issue of state-accorded hero’s burial for Marcos perceived by a majority of Ilocanos as the country’s greatest president ever, has hounded each newly elected Philippine president since Fidel Ramos, Marcos’ top lieutenant and distant cousin.

Marcos’ widow, former first lady Imelda Marcos, has been seeking a state burial for her husband, whose remains still lie in an air-conditioned crypt in Batac, Ilocos Norte, the late president’s hometown.

Then President Joseph Estrada attempted to extend a hero’s burial for Marcos but withdrew amid protests by anti-Marcos groups, including the Aquinos.

Teodoro’s cousin and presidential rival, Sen. Benigno Aquino III of the Liberal Party (LP), said he is amenable to form a commission to study the issue of Marcos’ remains being interred at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

'lam nyo medyo intrigued ako sa mga ilocano talaga. if you will find comparisons with their facial features, they resemble yun facial structure ng mga tao sa Tibet. Hitler sent an expedition to Tibet during WWII bec. he believed that the Tibetan people were the ancestors of the aryan race.

come to think of it, if the world was really under water during ancient times, malamang nga Tibet and the Mountain Province were above sea level. and so it shows perhaps that the Ilocanos were descendants of a great race ... marcos included. that's why no other Philippine President matched his vision of the Philippines.

if one will really analyze Marcos, galing talaga ng vision nya. for example, he didn't budge nun may transport shortage even during rush hour. ni-limit nya ang tranportation sector. eh ngaun walang limit, kita nyo taas na pamasahe, lagi pa traffic and puv drivers can afford loitering in idle mode sa kalsada looking for just even half of passengers, kasi tubo na sila dun

the coconut palace, the ccp, the amplitheatre in sari-manok, the palace in the sky as well as his other projects would have been great if truly naging landmarks yun ng Pilipinas for foreign tourism.

ganun naman talaga eh, london bridge and clock tower for london, golden gate bridge in sf, the revolving tower in seattle etc. etc. these were all made to put a good reputation on the cities mentioned. ganun din vision nya.

yun nga lang talagang nagmamadale, sya. he thought that empowering the military will speed up his vision. dun sya, nagkamali, kasi yun military eh hindi naman lahat ilocano. and not all in the military shared his vision. others simply when given power, used it according to their own culture/background . eh diba even after spanish regime, we were still considered by the Americans as being tribal by nature.

this same tribal nature made it impossible for the martial law military to unite for a common vision.

kaya hayan palpak, palpak dictatorship, palpak people power, palpak emergency govt. up to now palpak, kasi nga hanggang ngaun tribal nature.

and others even make it worse with all these election surveys and stuff. we're just a 21st century modern tribe.

tbh, Marcos really did deserve a proper burial. It's only because of the self interest and inability to move on by some group of people that he still isn't buried. Typical hypocrites.

**kotiko** · February 22nd, 2010 01:25 PM

Yes, I think people should move on with their lives and stop blaming Marcos for their misfortunes. Marcos still deserves to have an honorable state burial.

Going back to topic, I'm glad Gibo has the will to bury the hatchet, unlike others.

wow, akala ko myth lang yung naririnig at sinasabi ng iba sa akin noon na may mga ilocano na feeling superior. somehow, i've seen some in the past but they didn't really categorically said that they were superior people. now i've seen one here in tsikot.

don't take me wrong, i've got some very close ilocano friends who are humble...but the one i've just met here in tsikot (actually di ko pa nakita ng personal, but i have no interest of seeing him in person anyway) is the reality of the myth that i used to hear.

when cory died, the aquino "children" were cordial to the marcos "children" who gave respect to cory.

I may agree that macoy be buried sa libingan ng mga bayani since he was a phil. president. But imo, it should not be a state funaral. something simple will do. but, knowing imelda, she might not agree to a simple ceremony.
