Dalawa lang ang gusto nilang iparating sa taong bayan.  Una, si Marcos ay naging sundalo at presidente ng bansa.  Pangalawa, may karapatan si Marcos na mailibing sa Libingan Ng Mga Bayani dahil naayon ito sa batas ng Pilipinas.

“Why should we allow something de facto, such a fact, to disrupt the unity of the Filipino people? I myself have no objection. My own father is buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani. He was a guerrilla captain. I will not as an ordinary citizen hold it against the community if the consensus by that time is to bury one of our former presidents. Why should we let a dead man to control the actuations of the living and its new millennial generation? We should let go of the past.”
