๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐๐ฌ๐ญ | Today, we pause to reflect on a significant chapter in Philippine historyโthe Declaration of Martial Law, which took place on this day, September 21, 1972. This marks as the 53rd anniversary of the Declaration of Martial Law.
This day serves as a reminder to honor and commemorate the struggles and sacrifices of countless Filipino hereos and victims during the period of Marcos dictatorship, who endured oppression, loss of freedom, and human rights violations that deeply influenced the trajectory of our nationโs history.
In light of this, today also serves as a National Day of Protest, with the theme, "Laban sa Katiwalian" (Fight Against Corruption), a significant time for collective action calling for justice and accountability.
Today, thousands of Filipinos gathered on areas across the country, including in Rizal Park, the People Power Monument, and Baguio City, to celebrate National Protest Day, calling the attention of the rampant corruption and dishonesty circulating in our government, such as the current issues surrounding the flood control projects.
These protests serves as a demand for transparency and accountability from public officials, as we, Filipinos, unite to honor the resilience of those who fought for democracy and continue to raise their voices against authoritarianism and injustice.
The power of this nationwide protest remains a vital way for progress and for calling out those in power accountable for corruptions and abuse.
As we reflect on this day, letโs take a moment to acknowledge the importance of standing up for the truth, defending human rights, and ensuring that the lessons of history are never and will never be forgotten.
Whether you're participating in a rally, attending a mass, or simply taking a moment to reflect on the impact of Martial Law, today is a day to honor the past while advocating for a good governance, and integrity for the use of public funds.
๐ต๐ญ Together, we, Filipinos, continue the fight and speak for freedom, equality, and transparency for all.
"Hanggat walang katarungan, patuloy tayong lalaban!" ๐ต๐ญ
We rise together. โ๐ผ๐ซ Take care, Filipinos. Donโt forget to check in on each other and speak for the truth, now more than ever.
