Even as Malacañang has stood by its decision not to allow the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, administation ally Sen. Francis Escudero believes now is the time to heal the wounds of the past.

“Siguro panahon na para maghilom ang sugat na yun. Siguro panahon na para tuldukan natin ang ilang mga bukas pang sugat sa ating kasaysayan para mas mabilis yung pag-move forward natin,” Escudero told Senate reporters Monday.

Though he respects President Aquino's decision disallowing the burial of Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, Escudero said there are things that should be put to an end.

“Desisyon niya (Aquino) yun, pero sa ganang akin (nararapat ito) para matuldukan na natin... yung 40-year rebellion nga sa Mindanao matutuldukan na, apatnapung taon na yun. Ito magtatatlumpung taon na,” he said.
