Duterte admin is responsible

Task Force Detainees of the Philippines is outraged by the sneaky burial of a plunderer, dictator and human rights violator.

We hold the Duterte administration responsible for this latest insult to the victims of martial law and to the valiant struggle of our people to bring down the conjugal dictatorship.

The Marcoses and their ilk want to revise history in their bid to regain Malacañang. Their plundered wealth is being used to coopt or buy out those who will stand in their way.

In life Ferdinand Marcos was a thief. Even in death he remained a thief—robbing our people of all decency, defying our courts and the rule of law.

To those who conspired and continue to connive to erase the memory of those dark times we say: Guard it well. There will be no rest. There will be no closure. There will be no moving on until justice is done.
