RELIEVING MARTIAL LAW

                          It’s been 40 years since late President Ferdinand E. Marcos declared Martial Law under proclamation no. 1081. Martial law were imposed by President Marcos in order to bring peace and order in the Philippines, because in the capital city of Manila students are a lot of protest to Marcos regime, and other side of the country, a build-up of rebels to dethrone President Marcos. When Pres. Marcos declares martial law on September 21, 1972, it gives him and the Armed Forces of the Philippines an absolute power to control Filipinos and the entire country. The Filipinos during that time must follow rules given by President Marcos and the military this includes curfews, buy only locally made products and etc.

                         For few months of Martial Law Filipinos views it as an effective measure to crush rebellions by rebels commonly Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and stopping a lot protesters, because of curfews implemented, if any Filipinos were caught outside during it, a certain punishment will be enforce of them, worst death. As the Martial Law progress through years many Filipinos from different parts of the country are abused or raped or violated their Human Rights by military itself. Many Filipinos consider the eras as darkest time of the country were Armed Forces and the President has the power to rule. Once you’re being opposition by Pres. Marcos during Martial Law you and your family will be executed or punished. Filipinos in this time were very afraid to military because they had the power to do what they want knowing your human rights.

                         But the positive side of Martial law was that the Philippines were one of the most progressing country and advance in Asia. The dollar exchange rate on that time were very low, while products, foods and etc., were also cheap because it was being regulated by Pres. Marcos. Also a very peaceful country at that time.

                        On contrary, Pres. Marcos was able steal money of people from the taxes and put it in his personal bank account, making him one of the richest people in the world during that time. Also, he was accused of corruption during Martial Law, making him as most corrupt president in Philippines history. He steals over billions of pesos during his term as President.

                       Hopefully, Filipinos for next generation will no longer suffer this kind of event, the Martial Law is good move in order to kept peace and order situation of the country, however the problem is that when the authority itself uses it into their advantage to corrupt, exploit, abused and violate Human rights of the citizens. Martial law will be forever be a lesson to the Filipinos.  

                            Is Martial Law is the key on putting peace and order on certain place where violence and death are at high,and putting stop to rebellion? 

WORST SUFFERED BY FILIPINOS

After two days continue of heavy rain were Manila and other parts of Luzon were submerge in floods that brought buy tropical strom Fung-Wong (Bagyong Mario) and most of Filipinos are evacuated because of floods up to 2 storey building and many of the agricultural crops are being damage during the rampage of the tropical storm. Many Filipinos lives in Manila and other nearby city are left with muds all over the place, including inside of there houses. But many evacuated families are still on the evacuation area because some area of Manila and other cities are still flooded but local and national government are continuing there support to the affected families.

                  But the tropical storm (Bagyong Mario ) still takes five victim during its rampage and sunk one vessel in Cebu. Also causes a power outage on across Northern Luzon.

                 Philippines are being hit buy an average 20 storms or typhoons every year which kills hundreds of Filipinos and left millions in damage. But last year,  Super typhoon Haiyan where it hit the Philippines with the strongest wind recorder on land, left 7300 filipinos dead and missing during its rampaged.

                  It may takes several weeks or months in order for Manila and other parts of Luzon being ravage  by tropical storm Fung-Wong (Bagyong Mario ) to recover but one characteristic by a Filipino that separates from other is that they always smiles during problems that they encounter.
