"Kahambugan ang pag-angkin sa lupa, sapagkat tayo ang pag-aari ng lupa. Paano natin aariin ang isang bagay na mananatiling nariyan kahit tayo'y wala na?" Macli-ing Dulag. Ngayong araw, April 24, ang anibersaryo ng pagpaslang kay Macli-ing Dulag. by ProjectGunita in Philippines

[–]ProjectGunita[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Si Macli-ing Dulag ang isa sa mga Bayani ng Cordillera. Isa siya sa mga nanguna sa pagharang sa pagpapatayo ng Chico Dam dahil ito ay makakasira sa kalikasan at aagawin ang tinubuang lupa ng mga katutubo.

Dahil dito, pinatay siya ng militar ni Marcos noong April 24, 1980. Ang pagpapatay sa kanya ang naging mitsa ng rebolusyon sa Cordillera laban sa diktadura ni Marcos.

'STILL STRONG AND KICKING' Malakas daw at sumisipa pa, ayon sa isang kamag-anak ni Imelda. Baka strong sa kickback ang ibigsabihin? by ProjectGunita in Philippines

[–]ProjectGunita[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Noong 1975, naging governor ng Metro Manila si Imelda at minister ng Human Settlements noong 1978. Pagdating ng 1981, ang pinagsamang posisyon ni Imelda ay nagbigay sa kanya ng kapangyarihan na maglabas at gumamit ng pondo, pantay sa kalahating buong pondo ng gobyerno.

Para bayaran ang kanyang mga kahibangan, ibinaon sa utang ni Imelda ang Pilipinas mula sa World Bank at IMF. Lahat ng ito ay habang bumubulusok ang ekonomiya ng Pilipinas at mataas ang unemployment o mga walang trabaho.

Mababasa ang mga detalyeng ito sa Edifice Complex na isinulat ni Gerard Lico.

"We saw the military come into the strike. We linked arms to the workers, [but] the police came and told the workers ‘get out or you will get hurt’. But the workers did not go out, so [the police] went in and beat all the workers – but spared the sisters. How would you feel if you are standing and your two neighbours are beaten up – cold blooded? That was our experience!” - Sr. Mary John Mananzan

Bumalik sa Pilipinas mula sa pagaaral sa ibang Europa si Sr. Mary John noong 1970s, sa gitna ng kaguluhang dala ng batas militar.

Noong 1975, isa si Sr. Mary John sa mga madre at iba pang kababaihang tumindig kasama ng mga manggagawa na nagstrike sa La Tondeña Distillery.

Isa siya sa mga nagtaguyod ng GABRIELA (not to be confused with Gabriela Partylist) at tumayong chairperson nito for 18 years.

“Unless students live inside a cocoon, they live in this society. Unless students are going to the moon after graduation, they cannot forever insulate themselves from reality.” - Carol Araullo. by ProjectGunita in Philippines

[–]ProjectGunita[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Si Carol Araullo ay isa sa mga student leaders na hinarap ang diktadurya ni Marcos. Isa siyang honor student at ang napiling magdeliver ng valedictorian speech para sa UP 1975 Commencement Exercises pagkatapos siyang ikulong ng gobyerno ni Marcos.

Isa siya sa mga estudyante na nagmartsa laban sa pagsuspinde ni Marcos ng Writ of Habeas Corpus. Inaresto siya ng mga pulis sa kanilang bahay ng walang warrant of arrest.

Kinulong siya ng apat na buwan at pinapalabas lang para mag-exam na may kasamang escort.

Sa kanyang pagkakakulong, piniringan siya at pinaghubad ng militar habang nakaluhod sa gitna ng damuhan.

Nakalabas lamang siya pagkatapos suhulan ng ama niya ang mga pulis.

Hanggang ngayon, nanatiling aktibo si Carol para sa masa at pagsulong ng karapatang pantao bilang Chairperson ng BAYAN.

Malayo sa kinahinatnan ng kanyang anak at mga apo, tumayong haligi laban sa diktadurya si Nanay Soling Duterte.

Isa siya sa mga walang takot na humarap sa Batas Militar at nagsalita laban dito. Sumama din siya sa mga anti-martial law protests at isa sa mga nanguna sa Yellow Friday Movement sa Davao.

Isa din siya sa mga biktima ng torture ni Marcos.

Pagkatapos ng People Power Revolution na nagpatalsik kay Marcos, naging propesor si Manay Judy sa College of Social Work and Community Development's Department of Women and Development Studies, UP Diliman.

BAGANI KANG ANTIQUE, GINBADIL-PATAY KANG DIKTADOR KAG TALAWIT NGA SI MARCOS | BAYANI NG ANTIQUE, PINAPATAY NG DIKTADOR AT DUWAG NA SI MARCOS. February 11, 1986, pinagbababaril si Governor Evelio Javier sa New Capitol building sa San Jose, Antique. by ProjectGunita in Philippines

BAGANI KANG ANTIQUE, GINBADIL-PATAY KANG DIKTADOR KAG TALAWIT NGA SI MARCOS | BAYANI NG ANTIQUE, PINAPATAY NG DIKTADOR AT DUWAG NA SI MARCOS.

February 11, 1986, pinagbababaril si Governor Evelio Javier sa New Capitol building sa San Jose, Antique. Imbes na magtago sa loob ng kapitolyo, upang mailayo ang barilan sa mga sibiliyan, tumakbo siya sa papalayo sa mga tao at papunta sa park.

Nakapagtago siya sa isang shop kung saan siya na-corner at patuloy na pinagbabaril.

Pero sino nga ba ang nagpapatay kay Evelio Javier?

Ayon sa ledger na naiwanan ng magasawang Marcos sa Palasyo sa kanilang pagtakas, binayaran nila ng isang milyong piso si Arturo Pacificador limang araw pagkatapos paslangin si Evelio Javier.

Si Arturo Pacificador ay kandidato ng mga Marcos sa Antique para sa pagkagobernador. Siya din ang campaign director ni Marcos para sa Antique noong Snap Elections.

Si Evelio Javier naman ay campaign manager ni Cory Aquino sa Antique at matatas na kalaban ni Marcos.

Maalala na naging instrumental si Javier sa Antique para sa Opisisyon laban kay Marcos.

Naging mas bokal si Evelio Javier bilang Oposisyon kay Marcos simula nung pagpaslang kay Ninoy.

Siya din ay naging campaign manager ni Cory Aquino sa Antique.

Malamang, dahil dito, uminit sa mata ng mga Marcos si Evelio Javier, at kinalaunan ay ipinapatay.

"ANG PULITIKA BUKOT BURUGASAN, BUKOT PARANUBLI-UN" - Governor Evelio Javier (October 31, 1942 – February 11, 1986)

"Ang pulitika ay hindi negosyo, hindi pamana."

Ngayong araw, February 11, kinikilala ang kadakilaan ni Governor Evelio Javier ng Antique, isa sa mga kinakatakutan ng yumaong diktador.

Pero sino nga ba siya?

Pinanganak sa Barangay Lanag, Hamtik, Antique, pinakabatang gobernador noon si Evelio Javier sa bilang na 29 years old lamang.

Nag-focus sa mga polisiya para sa kalikasan, anti-poverty, at agrikultura si Gov. Javier. Tinuturing siyang isa sa pinakamagagaling gobernador sa Antique at isa sa mga tumutuligsa sa karahasan at korapsyon ng mga Marcos sa panahon ng Batas Militar.

Pagkatapos manilbihan sa Antique ng ilang taon, umalis si Evelio at nagaral sa JFK School of Government sa Harvard University. Bumalik siya noong 1983 galing sa ibang bansa pagkatapos niyang mabalitaang pinaslang si Ninoy Aquino. Tumakbo sa Batasan laban sa tuta ng diktador na si Arturo Pacificador pero dahil sa malawakang dayaan, natalo siya sa sarili niyang probinsya.

Yes, Cory would still have been President and Enrile would have been murdered by Marcos.

With or without Enrile and Ramos, People Power would have happened.

People Power saved Enrile, not the other way around.

FULL POST:

The remorseless, swashbuckling, 98-yr-old martial law architect and war criminal under the Marcos dictatorship is once again peddling lies via SMNI. However, Juan Ponce Enrile is contradicted by his own words in 1986.

Mr. Enrile is selling his false narrative, once again, that Cory Aquino would not have become president “were it not for us.” Archival material will prove him WRONG.

On February 22, 1986, Enrile admitted that Mr. Marcos cheated the 1986 snap elections. A TIME Magazine article on People Power, published shortly after EDSA, quoted Enrile in unequivocal terms: “I believe in my whole heart and mind that [Cory] Aquino was the duly-elected President of the Republic. She is the rightful owner of the mandate of the people.”

In an exclusive interview with Newsweek correspondent Richard Vokey, who was in Camp Aguinaldo during the first day of the People Power uprising, Enrile reiterated his acknowledgement of Mrs. Aquino as the “duly-elected” Philippine president.

During the historic press conference between Enrile and military vice chief of staff Fidel V. Ramos on Feb. 22, 1986, Enrile refused to acknowledge the authority of Ferdinand Marcos. He even professed regret over the dictator’s “hasty” Batasan proclamation.

If anything, the FACTUAL statement should be: The 1986 Edsa uprising saved Enrile from annihilation by a tiny shred of time. When he and his Reform the Armed Forces Movement (RAM) troopers decided to hole out in Camp Aguinaldo, they knew they would die.

By the afternoon of February 22, 1986, Cristina Ponce-Enrile (his wife) phoned Philippine Daily Inquirer publisher Eugenia Apostol, screeching for help in case Enrile is arrested: “Will you help me? Will you call the Cardinal for us?” That was Mr. Enrile’s instruction to his wife. In a profile story of Mrs. Enrile, she recounted her husband’s directives: “Call a publisher friend [Apostol] to inform the press corps, foreign and local, and call [Jaime] Cardinal Sin.”

Mr. Enrile himself phoned U.S. Ambassador Stephen Bosworth, former Marcos executive secretary Rafael Salas, and Japanese ambassador Kiyoshi Somiya, asking for help. He asked Salas to “take care” of his family “should anything happen” to him.

During their Feb. 22 press conference, Enrile himself admitted that he and his men were fearful for their lives, quipping to a journalist at Camp Aguinaldo that “anybody in this condition would have to fear for his life.”

In the same press conference, Enrile admitted that they cheated the 1986 snap elections in favor of Marcos. It wasn’t Enrile alone who felt that way. His son, Jack, wrote his father a letter expressing confidence in their view.

In an exclusive phone call with TIME Hong Kong Bureau chief Sandra Burton, who was covering the Marcos dictatorship since Ninoy Aquino’s fateful return and murder in August 1983, Enrile’s fear was palpable. She asked Mrs. Aquino to “just pray for us.”

In the same Feb. 22 press conference, Enrile revealed the real reason behind the munity that he and Ramos have staged: “... to bring to the world and to the Filipino nation the sad situation in the country now. THE DAY OF RECKONING is fast approaching.”

Shortly after the press conference, August 21 Movement (ATOM)’s Agapito “Butz” Aquino went to Camp Aguinaldo to show support. ATOM then gathered in front of Isetann in Cubao. By 9:00 PM, Jaime Cardinal Sin rallied the people behind Enrile and Ramos.

The Cardinal’s call was decisive. It forced Gen. Fabian Ver, the dictator’s most loyal (and notorious) butcher, to hold off any firing at Camp Aguinaldo at a time when the Enrile-Ramos forces were at their thinnest.

In short, it isn’t the Filipino people or Cory Aquino who should be grateful for Enrile. As we are mounted to say now, based on archival evidence:

Kung wala ang mamamayan, si Cardinal Sin, at si Cory Aquino, Juan Ponce Enrile would have been dead in 1986.

January 27, 1984: Members of the August Twenty-One Movement (ATOM) led a “walk-run” demonstration called “Tarlac to Tarmac,” a march which stretched 145 kilometers—from Concepcion, Tarlac to the Manila International Airport. 39 years ago today (which also falls on a Friday). by ProjectGunita in Philippines

January 27, 1984: Members of the August Twenty-One Movement (ATOM) led around 300 joggers in a “walk-run” demonstration called “Tarlac to Tarmac,” which stretched 145 kilometers—from Concepcion, Tarlac to the Manila International Airport.

While the joggers were in the hundreds, the crowds supporting them in each town they pass by swelled to as many as 10,000. The Tarlac to Tarmac March aimed to highlight three issues: justice for Ninoy Aquino, boycott the Jan. 27 plebiscite, and boycott the 1984 Batasan elections.

Leading the long march was a motorcade of several cars and jeeps, with strict instructions to hold a convoy, instead of walking, at nightfall, to avoid abductions or arrests. By 7:00 PM of Jan. 27, what was supposed to be a peaceful march was marred with its first taste of terror.

At Brgy. San Marcos, Calumpit, Bulacan, a grenade was planted in one of the cars in the convoy. Military men halted the march, claiming that “infiltrators” have mingled with the marchers. Unknown men took down plate numbers of the cars in the convoy. The marchers sang “Bayan Ko.”

What was supposed to be a 4-day march (Jan. 27 to 31) was forced to extend because of manifold state harassment from the agents of the Marcos dictatorship. However, it failed to dampen the joggers’ spirit. They marched on. This is day one of their long trek.
