FACTS: On September
15, 1989. The court decided (8-7) that the disapproval of Aquino to issue
travel documents to Marcoses are not made with grave abuse of discretion on the
ground that it will post threat to national security. On September 28, 1989,
Marcos died in Hawaii. President Aquino said in a statement that the remains of
Marcos will not be allowed to be brought to the country until such time as the
government, under Cory’s or succeeding administration decide otherwise. This
was done to prevent any tranquility of the state and order of society which
might arise from those who will take the death of Marcos passionately.
Petitioners, family of Marcos, asserted that they have right to travel and
return.
ISSUE: W/N Ferdinand
Marcos can still return. W/N he still has this right.
HELD: No. A corpse
does not have civil personality. Therefore, it can be restricted to enter the
country.
