Reposting my tweet from last night…
“Dear Mr. Chinese President: Kung gusto po ninyo, ‘yong tatlong Pinoy na nasa death row, papalitan namin ng tatlong heneral plus eight houses in the US. Deal?”
At nagreply daw ang Chinese President: “Kayo gusto palit tatlo Pinoys with tatlo generals plus 8 houses? Aglee ako d’yan pero sa isa kondisyon: puwede ba sama Mrs Ligot? S’ya fascinating! S’ya husay real estate.”

The AWSJ article describing PNoy as “studious” and comparing the Aquinos with the Kennedys is hilarious. The closest similarity is their questionable source of wealth, but definitely the Kennedys are far more intellectual, good-looking and individually accomplished than the Aquinos.

would you consider a man who was a war hero and leader of a country but who later in life becomes a serial killer still worthy of being called and a hero?
mr. emil jurado thinks so: “All things considered, however, Marcos deserves to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. Despite of what some people think of him, he was a true soldier, a war hero, and above all, a former President. Nothing can change that. As such, he deserves the rightful burial of his remains, long encrypted in an air-conditioned placed as a tourist attraction in Batac, Ilocos Norte.” http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideOpinion.htm?f=2011/february/18/emiljurado.isx&d=2011/february/18
mr. ramon tulfo thinks so too: ”
No matter the bad things Marcos supposedly did during the latter part of his life, the fact remains that he was a war hero.” http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/metro/view/20110216-320664/Bury-FM-at-Libingan-ng-mga-Bayani

maybe we need to put up version two of “libingan ng mga bayani”; how about, “libingan ng mga bayani sana”? If it’s not possible, nay, weird, really, then let it be where it is now… sa batac, as a tourist attraction. pwedeng tawagin ang lugar na “Museo ng mga Sana’y Naging Bayani.” I’m sure marami pa tayong mailalagak dyan, bukod kay Da Apo. Indeed, one hell of a museum for the heroes that never were!

Former president Marcos should not be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani as he is not a Hero. Likewise, Gen. Angelo Reyes is also not a hero as he is also being accused of enriching himself while he is the chief of staff and defense secretary under the GMA administration,
Take note that both of them are accused of doing wrong while in office. So why single out Marcos and allowed Reyes to be honored as Hero?
Maybe next time we need to review and cleanse our conscience before making a harsh decision that would affect the whole citizenry of our country.
