[Trending Now] 'I-count Din Natin ang Mga Nagawa Niya ' Pacquiao Says About Marcos' Burial at Libingan ng Mga Bayani.

Senator Manny Pacquiao once again made rounds online for imposing a question in an interview saying: Which came first? former President Ferdinand Marcos being elected of him declaring Martial Law?

He also emphasized that the late dictator has a lot of accomplishments and should be recognized more than his exploits. This is with regards to President Duterte's decision to allow the burial of the dictator at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. 

"In-elect siya ng tao. Doon pa lang, naging presidente siya, so doon pa lang huwag natin kalimutan ang nagawa niya sa ating bayan, sa ating bansa, iyong mga na-accomplish niya during his term. Siguro i-consider natin iyon palagi," Pacquiao said. 

He was then asked about the consideration for the abuses during the Martial Law ""Kinokonsidera naman natin iyon pero saan ang mas nauna, pagka-elect niya as president o Martial Law? o diba? Mas nauna pagka-elect niya as president." 

He also appealed for forgiveness from the public especially the opposition to the hero's burial saying:

"Ang pinakaimportante magkaroon tayo ng forgiveness... Huwag tayong magalit o anuman [sa] nagawa niya. Kailangan may forgiveness tayo. Kung wala tayo pagapatawad sa puso natin, hindi tayo maka-move on," said Pacquiao.

"Kailangan natin ng forgiveness para tayo may kaligtasan so okay lang i-forgive natin iyan. I-count din natin ang nagawa niya. Ang pinakimportante, he was elected as president,"

But he refused to comment when asked about if he considers Marcos as a hero.

"He was a president so elected siya. Hindi naman niya nilagay sarili niya para maging presidente siya."

"Ibinoto siya ng tao so ok na siguro, isa na iyon para magbigay qualification para you know,"

 "it's not a big deal na hindi natin siya ano... kung baga pag-usapan iyong big deal iyong accomplishment niya, iyong pagiging presidente niya. Nahalal naman siya ng tao, pinili naman siya ng tao."
