PBBM visits Indonesia’s Heroes Monument

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Monday paid his respects before the Heroes Monument in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Kalibata National Heroes Memorial Park in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Marcos, wearing a Barong Tagalog, was accompanied by his wife, First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos.

The Kalibata National Heroes Memorial Park is the final resting place of Indonesia's national figures which include the country's founding fathers, freedom fighters, revolutionary leaders, high government officials, ranking military officers, national artists, and scientists.

It was built in 1953.

The Heroes Monument is situated about 200 meters from the cemetery.

The Philippine chief executive joined the ceremonial event on the second day of his three-day State Visit to Indonesia, whose economy is the largest in Southeast Asia and the 16th largest in the world.
