Marcos buried as former president, soldier not a hero



The loyalists of Ferdinand Marcos were reminded by Deputy Speaker Fredenil Castro that the dictator was buried at Libingan ng mga Bayani not as a hero, according to the Supreme Court, but as a former president and soldier.
 
“It did not say that he would be buried at Libingan ng mga Bayani because he is a hero. That is an issue that has yet to be resolved to this day because it was sidestepped by the Supreme Court,” Castro said in a radio interview.

“What the Supreme Court merely said was he can be buried there because he was a soldier and a former President, and that is in accordance to the law,” said the Capiz representative.

The Marcos loyalists should not blow up the issue by saying that Marcos was a hero, said Castro.


“Perhaps they should just keep that in their hearts because that has yet to be proven. And in fact, that heroism is under question because of the many things discovered … which does not qualify him to be a hero. In fact, many say that [Marcos] faked his records and medals. Even the US government said it did not confer to him a medal,” Castro said.

There was “enough legal process that where they could ventilate their opposition” Castro said to those opposing the burial.

“We have the laws like the right to claim damages. If they know who were responsible for the death or disappearance of their loved ones,” Castro said, including the prescriptive period for criminal liability does not apply in this instance as the culprits have not yet been identified and haled to court.

A lawyer and former activist, Castro was also a martial law victim. Asked if the crime could still be blamed on Marcos, Castro said it was possible.

“But considering he has died, it is his estate that would be liable for this. Criminal liability ceases after his death … And since his estate had been inherited by his children, it is his children who would be responsible for the damages,” Castro said.

Thailand and Malaysia is considering building a border wall



Thailand and Malaysia is considering plans to build a wall along their shared outskirt, a day prior to Malaysian Leader Najib Razak is set to meet his counterpart in Bangkok.

Along the 640km Thai-Malay border human trafficking and the smuggling of drugs and weapons are among the transnational crimes that have thrived.

 Mr. Najib is to meet Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha on an official visit that will concentrate on security participation and investment. 

The wall is on the plan for the meeting, said a Thai foreign ministry official.

Foreign ministry spokesman Chinawut Setawat said at a regional meeting in Vientiane, "It will be on the agenda during Najib's visit, but it will not be the biggest item on the agenda."

"It is still at the memorandum of understanding phase," said Colonel Yutthanam Petchmuang, a spokesman for Thailand's Internal Security Operations Command.

Mr. Najib's visit takes after three deadly bomb attacks in southern Thailand over the previous month, including a wave of bombs in tourist towns in August that Thai police have connected to Muslim separatists working in the country's south.

Smuggling of weapons, drugs and illegal oil has been a site in Thai-Malay border. After taking power in a May 2014 coup, Thailand's junta promised a "zero tolerance" policy of human trafficking and launched a nationwide crackdown on vice and crime.

In January 2004, a shadowy separatist uprising by ethnic Malays reemerged in Thailand, after simmering for decades. From that point forward, 6,500 individuals have been slaughtered, says Deep South Watch, a group that monitors the violence.

Thailand's three southernmost provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat were once part of a free Malay Muslim sultanate until they were attached by Thailand in 1909. 

Two issues specifically have spurred the interest of Malaysia and Thailand in building a border wall, said Srisompop Jitpiromsri, director of Deep South Watch.

"The first is to stop the flow of illegal goods, whether it is petrol, drugs or human trafficking." 

"The second reason is that insurgents operating in Thailand regularly cross the border and use Malaysia as a safety base."

However it remains unclear how far the wall will reduce crime.

"There are still many logistical issues to address before building the wall," Mr. Srisompop said. "It's a tremendously long area."

It is part of the preparations for the well known Chinese New Year celebrations at Pak Nam Pho in this central province which is heavily populated by Thais of Chinese descent. 

The ceremony is to find Guan Yin and also the celebrations has been passed down through generations. The yearly grand festival will be the 101st year of the celebration and will last for 12 days from Jan 21 to Feb 1.

For selection, the candidates required luck only, just as they have for a hundred years. All they needed to do was toss a couple of wooden bars in front of Pak Nam Pho God-Goddess three times.

At the point when the bars hit the ground, the winner twice needs one wooden bar facing up and the other facing down. The third toss she needs both pieces facing down. 

The current year's Guan Yin winner is 16-year-old Tassayaporn Wongsaksirikul, who is in Matthayom 4 in a local school.

The ceremony is viewed as holy by Guan Yin worshippers who believe the winner is specifically chosen by the Goddess. The winner's prize is the belief that she and her family have been given good fortunes and are blessed to play the part of Guan Yin.

Tassayaporn will dress as Guan Yin when she joins a parade to be held around town on Jan 30 and 31.

Her father, Narong, said his family worships the Goddess and everyone was happy with the result.
