MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. visited the tomb of his father and namesake, former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNMB) on All Saints’ Day.
He was joined by his mother, former First Lady Imelda Marcos, and both attended the Mass presided by Army Chief Chaplain Col. Roy Onggao.
Members of One Movement Inc. who support the former first lady also paid their respects to the late dictator before his tomb.

In a tell-all interview last October 18, Vice President Sara Duterte said she previously warned Sen. Imee Marcos that if political attacks from the current administration continued, she would dig up the ex-president’s body and throw it into the West Philippine Sea.
The President did not comment on the remarks of Duterte, who was his running mate in the 2022 elections.
