Philippines is now facing one of its biggest problem on the objectivity of history and politics: whether former President Marcos deserves to be buried in the libingan ng mga bayani.

It is like asking whether it was right to name Harry Potter's son after Professor Severus Name knowing that he was a former death eater and has done 'inappropriate' acts (muggles' term) yet changed and even fought against Lord Voldemort just to maintain the peace in wizarding world.

Former president Marcos is not a hero and was a dictator. Only those who have lived during his term would know what life was under his ruling. However, either he declared Marcial Law for personal motive or for the state's, we don't have the right to condemn his family. A father's fault will never be his offspring's.


we forget about the hundred farmers who were slained during the Hacienda Luicita Massacre? How about the 44 SAF members who were killed in an 'undisclosed' operation?

We should weigh every detail that we could incurre before we shout what we are fighting for. Lets not turn blind with what are ancestors have taught us. Let us educate ourselves in order for us to know the truth. And in this article, either i am in favor or not will just be based on how you interpret this. Since everyone of us has the right to have its own interpretation. And it seems everyone in the social media will fight for its own interpretation.

As regards for naming Harry's son, I respect him after all it was his own decision to make.
