Proclamation No. 1081: Difference between revisions

'''Proclamation No. 1081''', also known as the '''Marcosian Martial Law''' or simply the '''Martial Law''' was the document which contained formal proclamation of martial law in the Philippines by the controversial President [[Ferdinand Marcos]], as announced to the public on September 21st/23rd 1972.

The effects of Marcos martial law was almost like [[Hitler]]'s Third Reich of certain parts of Europe and repression from [[Kim Il-Sung]] and Kim Dynasty of North Korea, and propaganda was circulated under him, the advent of New Society while suppressing civil liberties and freedoms, promoting censorship, abolishing congress, violating human rights or sanctity to life. People like this were likely to live in fear rather than speak against Marcos. As such, not only citiziens were disciplined and were afraid to break the law, some and others were also punished for their crimes as seen under Nazi Germany and modern-day North Korea.

The martial law under Marcos was Enrile Ambush, like the event of ''[[Kristallnacht]] '' "Night of Broken Glass". The subversives and communists whether or not were the prime targets and were arrested. Thousands were killed or went into forced disappearances, tens of thousands were [[torture]]d or imprisoned and everyone was afraid of it.

The martial law was lifted in 1981, everything was not in better shape until 5 years later in February 1986 after Marcos was ousted in exile to Hawaii.

The Marcosian martial law is believed to be the darkest chapter in the history of the Philippines, leaving a trauma to those fell victim under its cause. But the [[Marcos Loyalists|Marcos loyalists]] say it was paradise, a wonderful period, the smiling martial law and golden age under Marcos itself; this includes current President of the Philippines [[Rodrigo Duterte]], along with Marcos cronies whether living or dead. Although most historians and victims of the Martial Law era refuted every claims they have made. In spite of the numerous legitimate sources and documents relating to the victims and human rights violations during the era, the Marcos supporters, like [[Bongbong Marcos]] denied most of the alleged killings and tortures that happened, apathetically labelling the victims as "undisciplined" or even "[[New People's Army|"communists" and "rebels"]].

 

Numerous critics feared also feared that should Bongbong gets elected as the next president of the Philippines, the same history may repeat again.
