The Bagong Alyansang Makabayan called on Monday for widespread demonstrations across the country in the hope these will dissuade President Rodrigo Duterte from pushing through with the burial of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
“Should the burial proceed anytime this year, all roads will lead to the LNMB in what would be a national day of rage and remembering,” Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. said in a statement.
And even if it does not, “the fight to uphold the judgement of history must continue, wherever the dictator may be interred,” he said.
The protests, said Reyes, “will hold to account Duterte and his alliance with and rehabilitation of the Marcoses” and at the same time “drive home the statement that the people will never forget the crimes of the dictatorship.”
They should “likewise be an indictment of our bankrupt political system which has continuously rewarded plunderers and rights violators,” he added.
Reyes also said the protests would be an opportunity for “history lessons … discussion groups and teach-ins” on the streets as “part of the continuing education of the current generation on the crimes and abuses of Martial Law.”
He called on “people from all walks of life to make a stand for truth and justice.”
