We watch them waltz into the halls of power with the blessing of the Chief Executive. We can't stop the witnessing the rebirth of the Imelda, and Bongbong, and Imee, and their accession to the government’s inner circle like Father Macoy. But their disturbance keeps kicking up the dust obscuring the Marcos legacy from modern-day accountability. Of course, it’s easy to disprove their arguments once their endless army of faceless Twitter trolls, second-rate former journalists, and contrarian lawyers and opinion writers start using insults the likes have not been seen since Kindergarten. They reject the notion of Marcos’ regime being anything but totally benevolent and beneficial to the society in the archipelago. We can't stop seeing Marcos loyalists, Duterte Diehard Supporters, or the inevitable amalgamations of both camps constantly debating, challenging, and attacking even the idea of Martial Law. And that's the reason why we shouldn't - in fact, can't - stop bringing it back to the everyday discourse. Simply put, we wouldn't be Filipinos as we are today if it wasn't for Martial Law. In fact, one can argue that the Martial Law has crafted the republic we know today. The actions of one strongman, done through his sycophants and attack dogs, have affected the psyche of our society so much that we are still reeling with its repercussions to this day. Whether we like it or not, the Marcos era, governed through a martial law, is responsible for the injuries, deaths, and disappearances of hundreds and thousands of people, the suppression of the freedom of expression, assembly, and the press, and the rise of insurgency borne out of oppression and exacerbated social inequality. All while the debt and financial ruin that was incurred by the State continues to drain Filipinos pockets dry every year.
Local and national politics is dominate by the same players even the children and grandchildren of the dictator. Crony companies are still alive and kicking, controlling the local economy without competition or consideration for their workers. It would be catastrophic to do so while many of its guiding principles continue as state policy. Certainly they would not be dealt with in the sanctuary-loving manner, which is to say not at all.To ignore and forget the declaration of Martial Law, the infamous yet eclectic day of September 21st of 1972 that continues to govern our social consciousness is to reject outright what has made us people of this archipelago. They would likely get the military tribunal type of trial, which means no more allowing basically any illegal immigrant out on the street.Ĭriminal illegal immigrants would not be dealt with kindly. Īt the risk of causing any far-left activists to faint, the military may very well bring in some type of detention camps in order to keep suspected terrorist or those harboring them out of society. It isn't true-but academics are warning against "hidden viral" texts. New from me: Did you get a text from a friend who has a “close friend with incredibly reliable information,” “a source who works for DHS” or "the mayor's office" warning of martial law? Antifa would be forced to either stop acting like third world country, lawless animals, or face military consequences. If an offender were to be accused of terrorist acts, well let’s just say said offenders wouldn’t be benefiting from any far-left ideals of bail or criminal justice reforms. We all know how a certain group of people feel when their community’s police are exposed to “militarization.” In the past, police and military have trained together in multiple operations, such as the Jade Helm drills in Texas. Some, in fact, argue that a version of martial law has already begun.
To be clear, just because the President doesn’t come out in the media and announce that he’s declaring martial law, that doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t happening. Having the funding to help businesses, workers, the elderly, etc., is extremely important.īecause of the extreme nature of what is occurring right now, with trying to minimize the threat and damage of the virus, many have begun speculating that martial law will soon follow the national emergency.
The President said that the declaration will “unleash the full power of the federal government”, which is what is needed to assist our country in such a detrimental time. Last week, President Trump declared a national emergency, which opens up access to billions of dollars, and also activates the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
