THE PHILIPPINES
Homecoming Postponed
</hdr><body>
<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."
