MANILA, Philippines — Ilocos Representative Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., said he hopes Senator Manny Villar will allow the burial of his father and namesake in the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes’ Cemetery) if Villar wins the presidency.

"It's a right," Marcos said at the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines forum in Makati on Wednesday morning.

He said his father was a former president and a World War II veteran who deserves to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
