Sandro Marcos will give it a shot at around 2046 or 2052. I think we should have a martial law museum, the same way there is a holocaust museum.

I agree 👍

From an FB post:

"I was walking in the banks of the River Danube in Budapest on a beautiful spring day when I saw these shoes.

Getting curious, I approached the shoes and saw a plaque that reads: "To the memory of the victims shot into the Danube by Arrow Cross Miltiamen In 1944-1945."

It turned out that on that very spot, Jews were ordered to take their shoes off, and then they were "shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away”.

The fixed bronze shoes, created by a Hungarian film director and a sculptor, serve as a haunting memorial to this day of the horrors of an otherwise-forgotten time.

As I walked away from the shoes, I realized how such a simple work of creativity can leave a lasting impression. Forced into the river and killed, the Jews would have vanished from people’s memories, but the replicas of their shoes (which they were made to take off so they can be used by other people) survive not just to remind or pay tribute to their memory, but to get people into thinking about how we can prevent another similar horror from ever happening again.

And so as we in the Philippines contemplate how we can remind the younger generations of the dark times and tragic moments in our history, we should not overlook the simple and creative ways through which we can make the past visible and tangible in people’s everyday lives.

Where can we find traces of the student activists who disappeared? The farmers who fought for land reform? The OFWs who were unjustly killed in foreign lands? The soldiers who even now we merely know as '44'?

History is too important to be relegated to the textbooks. Let us not forget the role of art not just for beauty, but also for memory."

the picture chilled my spine.
it reminded me that the holocaust was not about politics... it was about people.

[WallyWest]

Sure, we made peace already. Integrated na sila ulit sa society natin di ba? But to put them back into power is a different thing. Katangahan na yun. Basahin mo ulit yung tungkol sa common sense.

Iba ang open-mindedness sa lack of common sense.

Thanks jut703. My only point here is about healing the country. If those issues happened 30 or more years ago, let our generation today move forward towards a better country. Even religious groups does not accept apologies nowadays. People still wants to get even (the so-called JUSTICE). Yung mga pro MARCOS naman sisiraan ang mga AQUINO-COJUANGCO. It will be a never ending hatred that will continue for the next generation and the generations after them. Each administration have their own highs and lows. But during elementary, marcos is only known as a dictator. I encourage everyone na magsaliksik. What the reason behind the martial law declaration? Why ninoy was killed and who did it? How did the marcos acquire such huge amount of wealth? How the martial law victims are being chosen, was it random, show of power? Before martial law was declared, why is the opposition already making their moves against marcos administration? Please note, nagsasaliksik po ako ngayon. Di po ito sinabi lang sakin ng kakilala, kamaganak, nabasa o narinig sa kung saan. Salamat po

So you're proposing that to achieve "healing", we should just let the atrocities of the Marcos regime be forgotten?

True healing will happen when everyone gets what they deserve - the Marcoses convicted for their crimes, and the Filipinos redeemed by the recovery of the Marcoses' ill-gotten wealth.

Also, anti-Marcos does not automatically mean pro-Aquino. The fight against Marcos was a fight for democracy. Democracy is not exclusive to one part or political family. Democracy is what allows you to post all your criticisms online without fear of retribution from the government.

REPUBLIC ACT NO. 10368

AN ACT PROVIDING FOR REPARATION AND RECOGNITION OF VICTIMS OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS DURING THE MARCOS REGIME, DOCUMENTATION OF SAID VIOLATIONS, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in Congress assembled:

CHAPTER I

PRELIMINARY PROVISIONS

SECTION 1. Short Title. — This Act shall be known as the “Human Rights Victims Reparation and Recognition Act of 2013”.

SEC. 2. Declaration of Policy. — Section 11 of Article II of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines declares that the State values the dignity of every human, person and guarantees full respect for human rights. Pursuant to this declared policy, Section 12 of Article III of the Constitution prohibits the use of torture, force, violence, threat, intimidation, or any other means which vitiate the free will and mandates the compensation and rehabilitation of victims of torture or similar practices and their families.

By virtue of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution adopting generally accepted principles of international law as part of the law of the land, the Philippines adheres to international human rights laws and conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Convention Against Torture (CAT) and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment which imposes on each State party the obligation to enact domestic legislation to give effect to the rights recognized therein and to ensure that any person whose rights or freedoms have been violated shall have an effective remedy, even if the violation is committed by persons acting in an official capacity. In fact, the right to a remedy is itself guaranteed under existing human rights treaties and/or customary international law, being peremptory in character (jus cogens) and as such has been recognized as non-derogable.

Consistent with the foregoing, it is hereby declared the policy of the State to recognize the heroism and sacrifices of all Filipinos who were victims of summary execution, torture, enforced or involuntary disappearance and other gross human rights violations committed during the regime of former President Ferdinand E. Marcos covering the period from September 21, 1972 to February 25, 1986 and restore the victims’ honor and dignity. The State hereby acknowledges its moral and legal obligation to recognize and/or provide reparation to said victims and/or their families for the deaths, injuries, sufferings, deprivations and damages they suffered under the Marcos regime.

Similarly, it is the obligation of the State to acknowledge the sufferings and damages inflicted upon persons whose properties or businesses were forcibly taken over, sequestered or used, or those whose professions were damaged and/or impaired, or those whose freedom of movement was restricted, and/or such other victims of the violations of the Bill of Rights.

the Filipino people, thru their taxes, are paying for the atrocities committed by ferdinand e. marcos and ferdinand r. marcos!

are you a taxpayer?

some people are just gago.

Try niyo nga iboycott lahat ng nagawa ni marcos. Tingnan ko lang kung kaya niyo. Wag kayo balimbing. Patuloy kayo nakikinabang sa nagawa. Sabihin na nating pera yun ng mga tao. Pero may choice sila na di gawin yun at inipon nalang lahat sa mga bank accounts nila. Namemersonal kayo ngayon? Sige nga mula ngayon wag niyo pakinabangan nagawa ng mga marcos. I rest my case.

BoGo na bai. Bobo at Gago in tagalog.

Can you stop this?

Pwede naman magtalo or magkaroon nang argument na walang salitang hindi maganda. BOBO and GAGO is a offensive word. Basahin nyo ang rules nang tsikot baka may tinatamaan kayo.

Again... This is a Last Warning.

[Juan Martinez]

under sections 6 and 7 of RA10368, the reparation to martial law victims shall be taken from 10 BILLION ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH OF FERDINAND E. MARCOS AND HIS SIN-FREE JUNIOR.

SEC. 6. Amount of Reparation. — The amount of reparation under this Act shall be in proportion to the gravity of the human rights violation committed on the HRVV and in accordance with the number of points assigned to the individual under Section 19 hereof.

SEC. 7. Source of Reparation. — The amount of Ten billion pesos (P10,000,000,000.00) plus accrued interest which form part of the funds transferred to the government of the Republic of the Philippines by virtue of the December 10, 1997 Order of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, adjudged by the Supreme Court of the Philippines as final and executory in Republic vs. Sandiganbayan on July 15, 2003 (G.R. No. 152154) as Marcos ill-gotten wealth and forfeited in favor of the Republic of the Philippines, shall be the principal source funds for the implementation of this Act.

by the way, OK lang yung ninakaw nila sa kaban ng bayan, meron naman tayong slex and nlex and naia na naipagawa ni idol ferdie.

WTF! there's no such thing as ninoy aquino international airport during the time of my idol.

and what about the slex and nlex? WTF ilang lanes lang ba manila south and north diversion roads before their rehabilitation by the administrations subsequent to my idol?

isama ninyo yan sa pananaliksik nyo.

there is a need for the DepEd to integrate in the curriculum in high school the subject: "MARCOS, THE ABUSIVE DICTATOR AND GRAND THIEF."

that's the only way to stop this stupidity.
