Magsaysay, bakit hindi inilibing sa Libingan ng mga Bayani?

Share

SI PANGULONG Ramon “Moching” Magsaysay, ang bayaning hindi inilibing sa Libingan ng mga Bayani (LmB).


Nagsilbi siya bilang ikapitong Pangulo ng bansa magmula Disyembre 30, 1953 hanggang Marso 17, 1957.


Noong World War II, ang mekanikong si Magsaysay nag-organisa sa pwersang gerilya sa Kanlurang Luzon at nakasama ng pwersang Amerikano sa pagpapalaya sa Zambales noong Enero 26, 1945. Kasunod nito, ginawaran siya ng ranggong major ng US military officers.


Bakit hindi nailibing si Magsaysay sa LmB kahit na kumpirmado siyang bayani?


Hindi malinaw ang mga dahilan. Pero malamang na: 1) ang Manila North Cemetery (MNC) – na pinaka-popular noon – ang pinili ng kanyang mga naulila, 2) maaaring hindi pa handa ang Republic Memorial Cemetery (na pinangalanan ni Magsaysay na “Libingan ng mga Bayani”), at 3) naunang inilibing sa MNC si Pangulong Manuel Luis Quezon. Noon lamang August 19, 1978 – sa anibersaryo ng ika-100 death annibersary ni Quezon saka inilipat ang mga labi nito sa Quezon Memorial Circle, sa Lungsod na ipinangalan sa kanya.
