September 21 has always marked a dark chapter in Philippine history. Fifty-three years ago today, late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. signed Proclamation No. 1081 declaring martial law. This day, the dark past is overshadowed by another as Filipinos experience oppression once again.

Today, thousands of people participated in the Trillion Peso March, a protest in response to the corruption in government flood control projects. A flood of Filipinos built by corruption, driven with anger and a desire to hold corrupt officials accountable, gathered today to shout one message, โ€œ๐™„๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™œ๐™ž๐™ก ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ ๐™ค๐™ง๐™–๐™ฅ๐™จ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ฃ. ๐™‹๐™–๐™ฃ๐™–๐™œ๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™™๐™–๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ๐™–๐™œ๐™ค๐™ฉ,โ€ highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in government.

Same day, same horror. The horror of the past and the horror of the present are both brought by our failed government. The Filipinos are denied freedom again. Haunted by the life we could have livedโ€“where taxes go to their intended purpose and not into the pockets of corrupt officials. The horror of our past weighed heavily, but may the horror of our present lead to accountability.

As we commemorate the martial law anniversary and the national day of protest today, let us honor those who fought for our democracy, both in the past and in the present. May this date serve as a reminder to stand firm against corruption and abuse of power, and to ๐๐„๐•๐„๐‘ ๐…๐Ž๐‘๐†๐„๐“ these dark chapters of our country's history. Let us ensure that oppression and corruption ๐๐„๐•๐„๐‘ ๐€๐†๐€๐ˆ๐ happen.

- Lola Narcisa Claveria
โ€” One of the Comfort Women of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.

Womenโ€™s Month serves as a remarkable time to commemorate the hardships, accomplishments, and sacrifices of every woman in society and across history.

As we honor the resilience of women who continue to fight for justice and empowerment, we should take a moment to reminisce about the historical eventsโ€” the term "๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐–๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง" derived from the Japanese word ๐ข๐š๐ง๐Ÿ๐ฎ, merging Chinese characters meaning ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ or ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐š๐œ๐ž (๐ข-๐š๐ง) with woman (๐Ÿ๐ฎ). Throughout Japanโ€™s occupation of the Philippines, the Japanese Imperial troops forced hundreds of thousands of women from different several countries to become their slaves inside the garrisons. The Comfort Women began voicing in the 1990s, pursuing justice for the atrocities they have endured.

Despite the aches, they persevered with unwavering strength. The women refused to be silenced, instead, they strived forward to get the recognition they were worthy of. Moreover, bravely fought for their rights as a woman. Regardless of their struggles in the historical past, they were recognized as symbols of hope and resilience.

Let us recall the significance of this day, today, February 25, is the 39th Anniversary of Edsa People Power Revolution. Also referred to as the EDSA Revolution, symbolizes a turning point in Philippine history as it marks the victory of democracy over dictatorship. This day is not any ordinary event; rather it is a historic revolution that united Filipinos of all backgrounds that desired the same goal of restoring democracy and freedom in our nation.

In commemoration, let us embrace the sacrifices of our fellow Filipinos and may we continue to fight against lies, corruption, inequalities, and nepotism. We must not allow for our generation to experience the horror of dictatorship again.
