菲律宾星期五为30年前被人民力量革命赶下台的前独裁者费迪南德.马科斯举行了有军事礼仪的葬礼。星期五的葬礼是在马尼拉的英雄墓园举行,有21响礼炮和军事仪仗队。

尽管马科斯独裁期间遭到迫害的很多菲律宾人权人士强烈反对,但是菲律宾最高法院上星期还是做出裁决,允许马科斯下葬英雄墓园。

菲律宾总统杜特尔特不顾反对派的意见,同意马科斯葬在英雄墓园。葬礼前马科斯的遗体被秘密运到马尼拉,以防抗议活动。 数以千计的防暴警察和士兵在墓园周围严密把守,没有抗议人群出现。

马科斯在流亡期间于1989年死于夏威夷。他的遗体1993年被运回菲律宾,存放在马科斯的家乡巴塔克的水晶棺里,成为参观景点。

Ex-Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos was buried with military honors Friday, 30 years after he was ousted in a People Power revolution. The ceremony began with a 21-gun salute as soldiers in parade dress and ceremonial rifles stood to attention at the "Cemetery of Heroes" in Manila.

Despite growing opposition from a coalition composed of Philippine human rights victims of the Marcos dictatorship, the Philippine's Supreme Court ruled last week that Marcos could be buried at the cemetery.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte approved the burial of the former dictator, disregarding the opposition's rejection. Marcos body was flown secretly to Manila in an apparent effort to avoid protests. Thousands of riot police and soldiers guarded the perimeter of the cemetery and there were no protesters.

Marcos died in exile in Hawaii in 1989 and his body was returned to his northern Philippine hometown of Batac in 1993. Since then, it has been displayed in a glass coffin and became a tourist attraction.
