Limampu’t apat na taon na ang nakalipas mula nang magdusa ang libo-libong mamamayang Pilipino sa kamay ng pasistang rehimen ng Batas Militar. Sa ilalim ng diktadurya ni Ferdinand Marcos Sr., naiproklama noong Setyembre 21, 1972 ang Proclamation No. 1081 na nagbaon sa bansa sa madilim na yugto ng panunupil at kawalan ng katarungan. 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐢𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐚𝐧, 𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐤𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐬𝐚 𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧, 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐲𝐚, 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐨𝐲 𝐧𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐚 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐚𝐧.

Sa kabila ng “Bagong Lipunan” na ipinangako ng diktadurya, nasaksihan ng bansa ang matinding sentralisasyon at pagwasak sa mga demokratikong institusyon. Ganap na kinontrol ni Marcos ang mga sangay ng pamahalaan at ipinaloob ang kapangyarihan sa isang mapanupil at mahigpit na sistema. 𝐊𝐚𝐲𝐚 𝐬𝐚 𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐧𝐚 𝐢𝐭𝐨, 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐛𝐨𝐤 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐤𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐩𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐭 𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐚.

Unang sinubukan ipitin ng Batas Militar ang malayang pamamahayag sa pamamagitan ng Letter of Instruction No. 1, na nagbigay-daan sa pagpapatahimik sa mga pahayagan at pagsasara ng 464 na himpilan at publikasyon, isa na doon ang ABS-CBN. Dahil dito, nasupil ang boses at higit na napawalang-bahala ang demokratikong karapatan ng mga Pilipino. Ang sinumang nagsalita laban sa pamahalaan kabilang na ang mga mamamahayag, estudyanteng aktibista, union leaders, kalabang pulitiko, at maging mga ordinaryong mamamayan ay itinuring na banta sa estado. Karamihan sa kanila ay agarang dinakip, kinulong, at walang awang pinaslang nang walang makatarungang paglilitis o pagkakataong ipagtanggol ang sarili.

Kaugnay nito, inaalala natin ang 107,240 na mga naging biktima ng human rights violations, habang umaabot sa 11,103 biktima lamang ang opisyal na nakilala at nabigyan ng reparasyon, ayon sa Human Rights Victims’ Claims Board. Ipinapakita lamang nito na hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin sapat ang katarungang naigawad sa libo-libong biktima na hindi nakasama sa opisyal na talaan, lalo’t ang mismong pinuno ng rehimen at mga kabig nito ay hindi napapanagot 𝐤𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐚𝐲𝐚’𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐲𝐚.

Sa loob ng maraming taon, patuloy na pinagkakaitan ng hustisya ang mga biktima ng Batas Militar. Limampu’t apat na taon man ang nakalipas, totoo pa rin ang sinasabi nila: 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐮𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐮𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐬-𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐛 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐚 𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐢𝐤𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭𝐨. Ramdam na ramdam pa rin hanggang ngayon ang mga epekto ng mga desisyon ng sakim at gahaman na diktador – lalo na sa krusyal na panahong ito na nakaupo sa pwesto ang kanyang anak at tinatamasa ang mga pribilehiyo ng pinakamataas na posisyon sa bansa. Patuloy na umiiwas ang pamilyang Marcos sa pananagutan, habang nagtatago sa likod ng kapangyarihan at kayamanang isinauli sa kanila nang walang kahirap-hirap.

Noong Setyembre 9, 2026, inabswelto ng Korte Suprema si Imelda Marcos sa pitong kaso ng graft, na nagpawalang-bisa sa hatol sa kanya ng Sandiganbayan noong 2018. Nakakagalit na makita kung paano nagagamit ng mga political dynasty ang kanilang impluwensya upang maantala ang mga paglilitis sa loob ng tatlong dekada, gayundin ang paglaya ng dating unang ginang mula sa parusang pagkakakulong batay lamang sa mga teknikalidad sa batas. Ang desisyong ito ay lumabas sa panahong sinisikap ng bansa na mabawi ang bilyun-bilyong pisong nawala sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Ferdinand Marcos Sr., ang ama ng kasalukuyang pangulo.

Habang milyun-milyong Pilipino ang kumakalam ang tiyan at hikahos sa buhay, wagas naman kung mamuhay sa luho ang pamilyang ito gamit ang kaban ng bayang ninakaw nila. Habang ang ordinaryong manggagawang Pilipino ay nagpapakahirap sa trabaho umulan o umaraw para lang mabuhay, may pribilehiyo silang maglakbay sa iba't ibang bansa at magkaroon ng makinarya para tumakbo sa pamahalaan.

Isang malaking katrayduran sa pawis at pagod ng karaniwang Pilipino ang pagkakaroon ng pangulong manhid sa mga kasalanan ng kanyang pamilya. 𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠-𝐢𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐤𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐚 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐢 – isang desisyong pinahintulutan ng isang dating pangulong namuno rin sa bansa nang may kamay na bakal. Isang malaking kasalanan sa katarungan ang pagiging malaya ng isang makasariling dating unang ginang, kahit nilustay niya ang kaban ng bayan para lamang sa pansariling luho.

Para sa libo-libong buhay na nawala, sa mga aktibistang dinukot at kailanman ay hindi na nakita, sa mga pamilyang patuloy na lumalaban para sa katotohanan, at para sa demokrasya ng Pilipinas, hinding-hindi natin dapat kalimutan ang mga kalupitang ginawa ng pamilya Marcos, noon man o ngayon.

𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗨𝗣𝗩 𝗦𝗖𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗗𝗔𝗬

The backbones of an independent nation are the people who lay their lives down for it.

August 31 of each year marks 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘀’ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 commemorating the people who sacrificed and displayed unwavering courage for the Philippines. It once started with the idea of remembering the Cry of Pugad Lawin, where members of the Katipunan tore their cedulas in a sign of defiance against the Spanish Empire. It started with a group of people who believed that the country deserved to know what independence feels like.

Timeless is the thought that when people think about the characteristics of a hero, they think of someone courageous, resilient, unyielding even in the face of defeat – someone who loves the country so much they would lay their lives down in its name. Ang mamatay nang dahil sa’yo, as the national anthem puts it. History has asserted several times that the country would not be what it is today without the people who fought for it.

It is only right that we commemorate the people who continue fighting for us today, regardless of whether they have put their lives on the line or not. 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙮, 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙧. They are people who leave a mark on the country that it cannot function without their existence. They are people undermined and underpaid, unbeknownst to those at the top of the pyramid.

This National Heroes Day, we remember the working class – the 2.19 million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who have left behind familiar lives for survival in foreign countries because it means giving their families a brighter future. We remember teachers who are underpaid and overworked, who are tasked with honing the minds of the country’s future, yet have had their daily wage increased by the government by a mere P85. We remember medical professionals, the frontliners of society, who put themselves at risk healing others and ensuring the country’s safety at large, yet are also undercompensated.

We remember tricycle, jeepney, and public utility drivers, who bring people to their homes, schools, workplaces, and essentially their dreams; who play such a big role in ensuring the movement of society, yet are diminished in the face of modernization and progress. This is a story of survival that hits UP Visayas constituents close to home in the wake of the August 5 signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between UPV and the Western Visayas Transport Cooperative (WVTC), threatening the livelihoods of tricycle drivers within the campus. As welcome as the idea of e-buses are to help ease transportation to the School of Technology, its implementation without proper consultation is simply disrespectful.

With all that considered, ask yourselves: 𝙞𝙛 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙢𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮?

This National Heroes Day, let us not forget that beyond the people who laid down their lives for the Philippines is a people who believed so fiercely in democracy and independence that they fought for it. But a hero does not need to be legendary and historically great to deserve a place in this conversation. Our heroes are also the people who keep the country moving and growing, even in the midst of crises.

When the backbone breaks, the country collapses. Perhaps this is why we proclaim the words “𝙩𝙪𝙡𝙤𝙮 𝙥𝙖 𝙧𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣” – because as long as the people who are modern-day heroes continue to be diminished, the fight never ends. 𝗪𝗲 𝗼𝘄𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿, 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆.

On this day in 1983, Ninoy was assassinated on the tarmac of Manila International Airport – the airport since renamed after him. Though his voice was silenced that day, his intended message echoed across the nation and became a 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆.

Ninoy spent most of his years in public service, which eventually led him to enter national politics and make history as the youngest member of the Philippine Senate in 1967. His political ideals, deeply grounded in democratic values, propelled him to openly oppose the authoritarian rule of the Marcos regime. Aquino relentlessly denounced systems rife with violence and corruption, including the 1967 electoral system fueled by “guns, goons, and golds” and the administration’s lavish allocation of funds in infrastructure projects such as the Cultural Center project of First Lady Imelda.

When Martial Law was declared in 1972, even behind bars, Ninoy’s strong opposition to the dictatorship never wavered. He went on a hunger strike inside his detention cell and persistently protested to fight for his rights. As he wrote during his detention, “𝙄 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙝𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙮𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙮.” His resolve helped awaken the nation, bringing an end to the regime through a peaceful uprising.

Ninoy once declared with conviction: “𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙙𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧.” Decades later, his words leave us with a question of our own: 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙜𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙙?

On this 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐲 𝐀𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐲, may we keep in mind that 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁. Remembering his name means more than commemorating the man who paid with his life for democracy; it means confronting the painful irony of where our country stands today. Over four decades have passed, yet the Filipino people continue to suffer under the hands of those who carry the name of the regime he fought against. Systemic issues still persist, injustices continue to prevail, and calls for accountability remain unanswered.
