Marcos, Episode 3
Description
Thirty years after being driven from office in the People Power Revolution of 1986, Ferdinand Marcos is on the verge of being granted the Philippines’ greatest honor—a state funeral hailing him as a national hero. The former president’s family and friends say this long overdue ceremony will restore his unfairly tarnished reputation, but to those who suffered under the Marcos regime, the very thought of a state funeral is an outrage that cannot and must not be tolerated. Tens of thousands take to the streets to protest any attempt to rehabilitate a man they consider their country’s worst dictator.
