For me, it is very unreasonable that the family of Ferdinand Marcos hid his burial to the people. First of all a hero's burial is an event which most or all the people in the country is in favor of. In this case, they hid it as if their actions are showed that they look like criminals hiding from the people. They buried the late President Ferdinand Marcos without the consent of the nation.
It is also unreasonable because he is not a hero. He shouldn't be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. Heroes are people who know how to care for Human rights. Yes, Marcos also became a successful President, but what he left to the mind of his nation was his dicatatorship. He is a destroyer of a human rights. As a hero, you must care for the people and protect them, but Marcos acted as if he was a villain.
I didn't experience Martial law and I am grateful that I wasn't born on that generation. However, hearing stories from people who had experienced it, makes me disappointed and I can feel the hardships, the struggles, the sadness that they felt during those times.
As a young citizen, I should be aware of what's happening in this country for me not to be fooled and so that no one can take away my rights as a person. Therefore, it is very unreasonable that Marcos Family hid his burial because the nation and I should be aware of it.
But as a Christian, we must learn to forgive. We might not forget what the late Ferdinand Marcos did, but God gave us a heart who forgives. We are also born to forgive as God forgave us. Past is past and let us not dwell in it. Let us not fill our hearts and minds with hatred but instead, let God fill our hearts and minds with love. God is the God of justice. Let's trust Him. Let go and let God take over.
