People really hate the Marcos family. When he died (which was in Honolulu, where he was being treated), the government initially didn’t allow his body to be brought to Philippines. It took four years till the next administration before his body was returned.

Here's the source of saying that in GMA news, a Filipino news site and channel:

https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/927983/sara-duterte-marcos/story/

She also "theoretically" threatened to throw president Bongbong's father's corpse into the sea

Why is she doing stuff like this, you ask?

Cuz Bongbong's making an China-hawk policy, regarding the West Philippine Sea claims
