After the Mass, PBBM stated in his message that the phrase "rest in peace" for Marcos Sr. can only be fulfilled if he continue doing what his father started.
On October 18, Vice President Duterte stated in a press conference that she had once threatened to exhume the remains of Marcos Sr. and throw them into the West Philippine Sea if the allies of the Marcos family did not stop their actions against her.
In 2016, then-President Rodrigo Duterte, the father of Vice President Duterte, authorized the burial of the late President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
