Q&A (G.R. No.
88211)
Ferdinand E. Marcos, Imelda R. Marcos, Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., Irene M. Araneta,
Imee M. Manotoc, Tomas Manotoc, Gregorio Araneta, Pacifico E. Marcos, Nicanor Y
Iiguez, and the Philippines
Honorable Raul Manglapus, Catalino Macaraig, Sedfrey Ordoñez, Miriam Defensor
Santiago, Fidel Ramos, Renato De Villa, in their capacity as Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, Executive Secretary, Secretary of Justice, Immigration Commissioner,
Secretary of National Defense, and Chief of Staff, respectively
The court ruled that the President's decision to bar the return and burial of Marcos
in the Philippines is valid
The court stated that the President did not act arbitrarily or with grave abuse of
discretion in prohibiting the return of the Marcoses. The court also emphasized the
threats to national security and the President's implied or residual powers to protect
and promote the interest and welfare of the people
Justice Cruz argued that the death of Marcos has not caused significant grief or
interest among the people, and there is no threat to national security. Justice Paras
argued that Marcos is entitled to certain rights even in death, and the alleged
threats to national security are unproven. Justice Padilla argued that denying the
right to be buried in one's own country poses a greater threat to national security
and granting the petition would accelerate reconciliation. Justice Sarmiento argued
that the President does not have the power to deny a Filipino from returning to their
own country, and there is no hard evidence to support the alleged threats to
national security
The court denied the motion for reconsideration, stating that no compelling reasons
were presented to warrant a reconsideration of the decision
The court emphasized the President's implied or residual powers, necessary for her
to fulfill her duties under the Constitution, and the threats to national security that
the return of the Marcoses was viewed to provide
