Philippines protesters decry alleged injustices under Marcos

Protesters in the Philippines have taken to the streets to decry alleged injustices under the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos and call for justice for victims of his regime. The protests, which have taken place in Manila and other cities across the country, have been sparked by the recent decision of the Philippine Supreme Court to allow the burial of Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani, or Heroes' Cemetery, in the capital.

The protesters have called for greater accountability for the human rights abuses committed under Marcos' rule, which include torture and disappearances. They have also demanded that the government pay reparations to victims of the regime. The protesters have also called for the government to revoke the amnesty granted to Marcos' cronies and to investigate the unexplained wealth of his family.

The protests are a sign of the public's discontent with the government's decision to grant the late dictator's burial in a place reserved for heroes. The protesters hope to remind the public of the injustices of the Marcos era and to pressure the government to take action to ensure justice for the victims of the regime.

The protests have been largely peaceful and have been attended by a mix of people from all walks of life. Many of the protesters are young and have shown a deep commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice for the victims of the Marcos regime.

The protests have been met with strong support from the international community, with many countries calling for justice for the victims of the regime and for greater accountability for the human rights abuses committed by Marcos. The protests have also been met with strong criticism from Marcos supporters, who have accused the protesters of trying to rewrite history.

The protests are a reminder of the importance of justice and accountability in a democratic society. The protesters have made it clear that they will not be silenced and will continue to fight for justice for the victims of the Marcos regime. It remains to be seen how the government will respond to the protesters' demands, but the protests serve as a reminder that no one is above the law and that justice must be served for those who suffer from injustice.
