FVR to be accorded full military honors – Palace
MANILA, Philippines — The late president Fidel V. Ramos will be accorded a state funeral with full military honors on Aug. 9, Malacañang said yesterday.
“The state funeral is a right of the family of a deceased president. So, yes, he would be accorded a state funeral with full military honors,” Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles said at a press briefing.
Angeles, however, did not confirm whether President Marcos would attend the wake or state funeral of the late Philippine leader.
“We have no confirmation of the President visiting the wake because we do not really announce that for security reasons,” Angeles said.
Ramos died at the age of 94 on Sunday reportedly due to complications from COVID-19.
He served as Philippine president from 1992 to 1998.
