Never Mind the Government of the People, for the People, and by the People

Escudero told reporters on Monday that Marcos deserves a hero’s burial despite his actions during the martial law years... “Anuman ang reklamo ng sinuman, anuman ang akusayson laban sa kanya, hindi maikakaila na dati siyang head of state, dati siyang nanilbihan bilang sundalo. And if only because of that, dapat ibigay sa kanya ang nararapat na libing (Whatever anyone’s complaint is, whatever the accusation against him is, it cannot be denied that he was a former head of state and soldier. And if only because of that, he should be given the appropriate burial),” he said... Escudero’s father, the late former Sorsogon Rep. Salvador Escudero III, filed a resolution in 2011 urging President Aquino to allow Marcos’s burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani... In other words, never mind the government of the people, for the people, and by the people. We should only continue to have a government of the officials, for the officials, and by the officials whether they are sick, dead, dying, alive or corrupt or rotten as ever...
