Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate on Friday slammed the “blitzkrieg” move of the Marcoses to bury the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

In a statement, Zarate said this is a “dastardly act characteristic of the Marcoses and a slap [on] the face of the victims of human rights violations during Martial law.”
