Ferdinand Marcos is set to be buried at a heroes’ cemetery on Friday in a secrecy-shrouded ceremony despite growing opposition after the Supreme Court ruled last week that one of Asia’s most infamous tyrants can be entombed in the cemetery, police officials said.
Police Chief Superintendent Oscar Albayalde said authorities finalized the burial plans with the Marcos family on Thursday, adding the former president’s remains were flown by helicopter from his northern Ilocos Norte hometown for the burial in the military-run cemetery in metropolitan Manila around noon Friday.
Mr. Albayalde said there will only be a simple ceremony.
“There will be no state funeral. It will be very simple, the body will be carried on a hearse then brought to his tomb,” Mr. Albayalde said.
