Thousands of Filipinos, including more than a dozen nude students, have protested against the hasty burial of Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos in a heroes' cemetery.
A few thousand activists joined a protest in Manila, where they carried Marcos' effigy in a mock coffin.
President Rodrigo Duterte was also targeted for allowing the burial of the dictator, who was ousted in a largely peaceful "people power" revolt three decades ago.
Protesters held placards reading "Digong traitor, a lapdog of the dictator," referring to Duterte by his nickname.
At the state-run University of the Philippines, a fraternity turned its annual recruitment ritual into a protest with naked student recruits running with placards that read, "Marcos dictator not a hero."
"We are angry that they are trying to ignore our painful history of human rights abuses under his term," the fraternity said.
Duterte, whose father served in Marcos's cabinet, allowed Marcos to be buried at the Heroes' Cemetery, where presidents, soldiers, statesmen and national artists are buried.
Marcos's family buried him in a secrecy-shrouded ceremony with military honours at the cemetery last week.
The stealthy burial enraged democracy advocates and sparked protests in Manila and other cities.
Victims who suffered under Marcos's rule asked the Supreme Court this week to order the exhumation of his remains and to hold his heirs and Duterte's officials in contempt for their role in burying the body before a court court hear an appeal to Duterte's decision.
Marcos's rule was marked by massive human rights violations and theft.
After being ousted in 1986, he flew to Hawaii, where he lived with his wife and children until he died in 1989.
