Martial Law in the Philippines 1972-1986

This short presentation is about Ferdinand Marcos and Martial Law. To those who say Marcos was great and let us have someone again like him, were not there or probably they are the sons and daughters of some corrupt government official, Marcos Loyalist during Marcos's time. It is not surprising that Marcos still have supporters today, Adolf Hitler have Neo-Nazis of today. It is also not surprising that these Marcos supporters could not even deliver a comment comprehensible enough to be understood and I believe they are living in a surreal time thinking that Martial Law was a happy time to be in. They are but a pathetic, foul mouthed and dim witted creatures.

History repeats itself to those who do not learn from it. The pictures on the presentation are real and facts are taken from different references readily available to all. En Wikipedia and Microsoft Encarta as neutral basis of the research - not on conjectures, only facts.

The Martial Law Story is a simple story the triumph of good of the Filipino and the evil of Marcos's Martial Law. I was 8 y.o. when Martial Law was declared, 19 y.o. when Ninoy was gunned down at the Manila International Airport and 21 y.o. when EDSA 1986 came. The people in my generation will agree with me because they were there too. We ourselves saw it happen and unfolded.

And we won our freedom. Our freedom which the generation of today enjoy and might be lost if the generation of tomorrow will be reckless and unthinking.

American Puppet? he maybe that but he was very wise that americans respected him though he violated democracy. japan and south korea were also american puppets, but look at them today. your PeeNoy is an american ass-licker.

1. May nakausap akong matanda na aktibista din nung araw, Street Parliamentarian pa nga ang tawag nila sa mga sarili nila, grabe at halos araw-araw ang mga Demonstrasyon dahil may kanya-kanya silang pera at kaya nilang tustusan ang gastos… Nakalimutan daw nila na kaya pala may mga pera sila dahil may mga Trabaho Sila…

@rossramos2688 oo tama ka dyan kaibigan madami lang nainggit kay marcos kasi gusto nila sila ang maupo sa pwesto, i'm 35 years old now at sandali ko lang naranasan ang pamumuno ni marcos pero di ko maitatanggi na magaling siyang presidente, nakakabili pa ako ng bigas na 7 pesos per kilo at ang 1 USD ay 10 pesos lang, at laging may trabaho ang father ko, pero ngayon lubog na lubog ang pilipinas nalulunod na, kung hindi dahil sa mga OFW baka katulad na din africa ang pinas.

We won our freedom? That's what I thought,too. I supported Cory at the age of 16. Now what have we become? The 1987 Constitution is the one making us poor. And the pork barrel given to Presidents all the way to brgy chairmen.

2. Natatawa na lang siya pag naaalala nya yon, sasabak sila sa mga Demonstrasyon pagkatapos o bago pumasok sa trabaho…

Aaminin ko na, karamihan sa mga impormasyon ko ay galing din sa mga Notorious na Aktibista nung Araw… At alam nila ang Comparison ng Noon at Ngayon…
