Protesters demonstrate in Manila following the burial of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos in a secretive ceremony at the national heroes' cemetery. Two weeks ago the Supreme Court endorsed a decision by President Rodrigo Duterte to bury the dictator at the heroes' cemetery. "If you exhume that body, you disinter Marcos, then the motions for reconsideration" can be heard by the court, Lagman told ABS-CBN television. Another group representing victims of his martial law Monday asked the Supreme Court to cite the Marcos family and the military for contempt for organising the burial. Duterte has defended the burial, saying laws entitled Marcos to be buried at the heroes' cemetery as a former president and soldier.
