Ramos to broker the negotiations with the Marcos family, said one of the conditions for the return of Marcos’s remains to the country after he died in Hawaii was that he was to be buried in Ilocos Norte, not in the LNMB.</p><br/><p>According to him, the deal remains in force today because it was never abrogated by past administrations. He added Marcos should be treated as an exception to the rule for burial in LNMB given his history.</p><br/><div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-middle"><br/><br/></div><br/></div><br/><p>“His ouster as President and commander-in-chief speaks for itself, and the exception to the rule that disqualifies a candidate should apply here,” he said.</p><br/><p>On his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rafael.m.alunan/posts/10207048921162152?pnref=story">Facebook</a>, Alunan however said that current President Rodrigo Duterte can opt to rescind the deal if he wants to.</p><br/><p>“The presidency is all-powerful. The deal cannot prevent the president from forging his own. PRRD can opt to either trash or uphold the agreement forged during the time of his predecessor and mentor – PFVR,” he wrote.</p><br/><p>Alunan also suggested that Duterte should consult the people through Congress first—a proposal also being supported by Ramos.</p><br/><p>“We’ve also said that to mitigate the impact on his political capital, he might want to get the sense of the people through Congress. In our view, that would be the prudent and circumspect track to take. That way he can say that he evaluated the views of all sides of the issue and made an informed decision,” he said.</p><br/><aside class="mashsb-container mashsb-main"></aside> <center> </center><br/><p><strong><a href="https://blockads.fivefilters.org">Let’s block ads!</a></strong> <a href="https://github.com/fivefilters/block-ads/wiki/There-are-no-acceptable-ads">(Why?)</a></p><br/><p><a href="http://kickerdaily.com/posts/2016/08/alunan-fvr-govt-and-marcos-familys-1992-deal-bars-late-strongmans-remains-from-libingan/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a></p><br/><div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-bottom" style="display:block;text-align:center;"><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3942681860132668" data-ad-slot="4831328630" data-ad-format="auto"></ins><br/></div><br/></div>

Leni Robredo in the nail-bitingly frantic vice presidential race.</p><br/><p>In a press release on Wednesday, May 11, the feisty senator raised her eyebrows at Marcos’ reversal of fortune in the race and accused the present administration of manipulating the numbers in favor of Robredo.</p><br/><p>“The roller coaster ride of vice-presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. invites comparison with a garrison state. In such a state, the authoritarian government feels free to manufacture numbers as they are needed,” the <a href="http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/785052/miriam-defends-bongbong-accuses-govt-of-manufacturing-numbers">Philippine Daily Inquirer</a> quoted her as saying.</p><br/><div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-middle"><br/><br/></div><br/></div><br/><p>According to Santiago, she found it incredible that Marcos — a survey frontrunner in the months leading up to the polls — would fall behind the administration candidate.</p><br/><p>“I find it astounding that Marcos should have led in the vice-presidential surveys for many months, until the penultimate month, when suddenly the administration could jump up survey results to finally overtake him,” she said; adding that such an anomaly would “cause the peoples of the democratic world to shake their heads and question the values of the society it produced.”</p><br/><p>Marcos, who is lagging behind Robredo by more than 200,000 votes after initially leading by over a million in the unofficial count, has accused the administration of vote-shaving as part of a conspiracy to unseat incoming president Rodrigo Duterte in the coming months.</p><br/><p>Robredo, on the other hand, has denied the existence of such a plan and dared Marcos to come up with solid proof.</p><br/><aside class="mashsb-container mashsb-main"></aside> <center> </center><br/><p><strong><a href="https://blockads.fivefilters.org">Let’s block ads!</a></strong> <a href="https://github.com/fivefilters/block-ads/wiki/There-are-no-acceptable-ads">(Why?)</a></p><br/><p><a href="http://kickerdaily.com/miriam-backs-bongbong-accuses-authoritarian-govt-of-manufacturing-numbers/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a></p><br/><div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-bottom" style="display:block;text-align:center;"><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3942681860132668" data-ad-slot="4831328630" data-ad-format="auto"></ins><br/></div><br/></div>
