The House resolution’s author, Sorsogon Rep. Salvador Escudero III was not happy about the compromise formula of Binay. “But we leave it to President Aquino to decide the matter. If the administration implements the Binay proposal to have Marcos buried in Ilocos Norte with full military honors, so be it. But his family can still push for his burial in five or ten years at the Libingan ng mga Bayani,†said Escudero, an agriculture minister during Marcos’ 14 years of one-man rule.
Among those who signed in favor of the resolution were Marcos’ widow, Ilocos Norte Rep. Imelda Marcos, and her nephew, Leyte Rep. Ferdinand Martin Romualdez; and former President turned Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and her two sons, Camarines Sur Rep. Diosdado Arroyo and Ang Galing Pinoy party-list Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo.
