He deserved a hero’s burial, but ironically he still has no resting place.


This is the dilemma of the family and colleagues of Senior Police Officer 2 Jess Valera who was gunned down three days ago by motorcycle-riding gunmen in Ermita, Manila.


His family, to their consternation, have been having difficulty looking for a place for interment.


They want Valera buried at Manila North Cemetery which has a section exclusively for Manila police officers.
