MANILA, Philippines - Some 204 congressmen crossed party lines in signing a resolution urging President Aquino to allow the burial of the remains of the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng Mga Bayani.
Sorsogon Rep. Salvador Escudero led the lawmakers in signing the resolution, saying he would gather at least 220 signatures from the 284-strong House of Representatives before formally filing it for approval in plenary.
“I and all of those who signed the resolution, as well as millions of Filipinos, want us to move on,” Escudero said.
He said President Aquino was in favor of the resolution and even asked members of the majority bloc in the House for support.
Escudero served as agriculture minister during the Marcos regime.
Among those who signed the resolution were Marcos widow Ilocos Norte Rep. Imelda Marcos, Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Sorsogon Rep. Deogracias Ramos, Cagayan Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, Pampanga Rep. Anna York Bondoc, Laguna Rep. Justin Chipeco, Valenzuela Rep. Rex Gatchalian, Lanao del Norte Rep. Fatima Dimaporo, Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla, Quezon Rep. Danilo Suarez, DIWA party-list Rep. Emmeline Aglipay, Manila Rep. Zenaida Angping, Negros Occidental Rep. Alfredo Benitez, Bacolod Rep. Anthony Golez, San Juan Rep. Joseph Victor Ejercito, and Ang Kasangga party-list Rep. Teodorico Haresco.
“Without denigrating the achievement of the leaders and officials that emerged after (1986) EDSA People Power Revolution, it can never be gainsaid that Ferdinand Marcos gave invaluable service to his country as soldier, writer, statesman and commander-in-chief,” the resolution read.

I-rice launched in Ilocos Norte

LAOAG CITY, March 16 — The Iron-fortified Rice or I-rice in the province was boosted with the signing of a Declaration of Commitment by members of various sectors and government agencies endorsing and supporting the product.
This was made during the formal launching of I-rice in Ilocos Norte on Tuesday, which was kicked off by a motorcade conducted by the National Food Authority (NFA) that made rounds of the province.
NFA provincial manager Alexander Galvez and assistant manager Tirso Mendoza led in the launching during a program attended by members of the Provincial Farmers Action Council, millers, retailers, consumers, and representatives of various government agencies.
I-rice is the latest and most nutritious rice being marketed by NFA. Rich in iron, one sack of rich is mixed with 250 grams of rice grains enriched with iron granules.
Ferdinand Macusi, NFA's senior grains operations officer, called on the public to eat I-rice as it could prevent anemia and infection, sharpen the mind, make the body vibrant, strong and resistant to diseases.
A Department of Science and Technology (DOST) study showed that iron deficiency is the most common form of malnutrition in the Philippines.
Iron deficiency is most often found among infants or children from one to five years old, pregnant women and lactating mothers.
NFA provincial manager Galvez said that I-rice can be bought from all NFA retailers at an affordable price of P27 per kilo. (PNA)
