菲律宾前独裁者马科斯遗体下葬英雄墓园

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.
