Fr. Wilfredo Dulay asks: How can we return to a golden age that we never had?

Malawakan man ang pananalanta ng bagyo at pagbaha ng 1972, at ginawa man itong pamamaraan para sa konsolidasyon ng diktadura at katiwalian sa pamahalaan, makikita ring malaki ang ambag ng baha ng 1972 sa pagmomobilisa at pagmumulat sa mga mamamayan.

HB 7137 is not just another attempt by Marcos idolaters to market an imagined past for mass consumption. Forgetting what really happened in history is the surest road to its repetition.

Tunay na may batayan ang kolektibong galit na dapat na nararamdaman ng mga mamamayan. Pero pinipilit ng mga nasa kapangyarihan na huwag gunitain ang nakaraan sa makatotohanang paraan. Una, mahalagang alyado ng mga Duterte ang mga Marcos. Ikalawa, pinipilit sikilin ang kultura ng aktibismo ng kabataan.

“We’re not here to celebrate a fascist dictator. We’re here to call for an end to all fascists and dictators.”
Maraming trahedya ang inianak ng Setyembre 11 na naglalahad ng pagpapatuloy ng naratibo ng tunggalian hanggang sa kasalukyang panahon. Hindi na gaya ng dati ang kalakaran sa daigdig mula noong Setyembre 11. Subalit gaya ng mga iba pang digmaan sa kasaysayan ng tao, higit na maraming dalamhati ang naranasan ng mga sibilyan tuwing magkakaroon ng digmaan.

“Healing cannot be imposed by one man,” the petitioners, who were Martial Law victims, said. “It cannot be imposed by the Marcos family. Sadly, it cannot be imposed even by this Honorable Court.”
The title of this piece comes from an article by the British investigative journalist, writer and documentary maker Nicholas Davies, titled “The $10-bn question: what happened to the Marcos millions?” It was published in the Guardian on May 7, 2016, two days before...
In various cities throughout the country, ordinary citizens join protest actions against the hasty burial of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
“It is our future that is at stake here that is why it is only right that we speak out against it (Marcos burial).”
