PRESS RELEASE
August 30, 2016
Nandyan na naman sila. Panay ang panunukso. Di na natuto.
Ito ang pahayag ni Akbayan Rep. Tom Villarin bilang pagsalubong sa itinakdang oral arguments ng Korte Suprema tungkol sa patuloy na pagpupumilit ng pamilya ni Ferdinand Marcos na ipalibing ang dating diktador sa Libingan ng mga Bayani.
Matatandaang marami nang beses sumubok ang pamilya Marcos na ilibing ang yumaong diktador sa LNMB tulad noong panahon ni dating Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos na nagtapos sa isang kasunduang hindi naman sinunod ng pamilya Marcos. Nagpumilit din sila noong panahon ni dating Pangulo at ngayo'y Manila Mayor Joseph "Erap" Estrada.
Ngayon naman, nagpupumilit silang muli dahil sa suportang ipinahayag ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, na nagtakda ng paglilibing sa yumaong diktador sa darating na buwan.

AKBAYAN SOLON TO YOUTH: LEARN FROM HISTORY, OPPOSE MARCOS BURIAL AT LNMB
Beware of historical revisionists.
This was the message of Akbayan Party-list Rep. Tom Villarin to the Filipino youth as the interment of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani looms.
"Forces are trying to change history and correct their mistakes by rewriting it," the lawmaker said.
"But the good news is you have easy access to factual and verified information. Use it," he added.
Villarin also encouraged the youth to participate in the conversation regarding the burial issue after being informed by credible sources such as the 17-page report of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, belying Marcos' claims to heroism.

PRESS RELEASE
August 8, 2016
NO TO MARCOS BURIAL AT LIBINGAN NG MGA BAYANI - AKBAYAN SOLON
Joining hands with millions of Filipinos who reject Marcos' claim to heroism, Akbayan Party-list Rep. Tom Villarin urged the government to scrap its plans of burying the body of the dictator and human rights violator at the Libingan ng Mga Bayani.
"Burying Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani is tantamount to burying the numerous atrocities he committed under his authoritarian regime," the lawmaker stressed.
President Duterte himself stated that he will have the dictator buried in a manner suited for heroes and fallen soldiers who died for the country.
This, despite numerous reports from local and international think tanks that attribute the victimization of more than 70,000 people who were either abducted, tortured, or summarily executed during the Martial Law period imposed by Marcos.
