- Share via
The body of deposed Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos was laid to rest in a temporary mausoleum in a tree-lined memorial park in Honolulu at a service attended by more than 1,000 mourners. Imelda Marcos, clutching a rosary, sang “Ave Maria” and “Our Father” while her son, Ferdinand E. Marcos Jr., stood at the casket. Marcos’ daughter, Irene Araneta, criticized Philippine President Corazon Aquino for refusing to allow Marcos to be buried in his homeland. The family has vowed not to bury Marcos, who died Sept. 28 after a long illness, in Hawaii.
