- <p> The tug-of-war between President Corazon Aquino and former
- First Lady Imelda Marcos over the burial of deposed dictator
- Ferdinand Marcos continued last week without resolution. After
- meeting with 14 Congressmen and governors from northern Luzon,
- Aquino agreed to allow Marcos' body to be flown directly from
- Hawaii, where the former President died two years ago, to his
- northern Luzon birthplace for burial--providing Marcos'
- followers would not use the event for political purposes. An
- agreement seemed at hand.
- </p>
- <p> But in New York City, Imelda Marcos, who plans a return to
- the Philippines early next month for the first time since the
- Marcoses went into exile in 1986, scuttled the plan. It was her
- husband's dying wish to be buried in Manila, said she. "This was
- his choice. I am his wife, and I will not violate his word on
- my honor."
