00:04 It's the second anniversary of the Martial Law under President Bongbong Marcos.
00:09 But it's not just that.
00:11 The city is changing but there are many things that are connected to the administration of his father.
00:16 That's why there are groups that are working on ways to not forget the things that should be learned in that part of history.
00:23 Here is the special report of J.P. Soriano.
00:27 [music]
00:30 Curfew is established from 12 o'clock midnight.
00:34 [music]
00:38 The dark history of history is being told.
00:41 [music]
00:44 But this kind of appreciation of the Martial Law that was declared 51 years ago, has it changed completely?
00:53 Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr.
00:56 Now, the Marcos family is again in power.
01:00 Now, Marcos is again in the spotlight.
01:04 [applause]
01:07 Many are saying that they were loyalists from the very beginning.
01:14 The names and affiliations that were connected to the administration of the late Marcos are now coming back.
01:22 That's why it became controversial to talk about the issue of the Directiva Ang Deped
01:28 that changed the title of the Paksa in the curriculum of Grade 6.
01:32 Instead of Diktadurang Marcos, they will just call it Diktadura.
01:38 The Armed Forces of the Philippines are also pushing for the teaching of the benefits of the economy of Martial Law
01:47 that was planned to be passed on to the CHED and the Department of Education.
01:51 What were the benefits of Martial Law of Diktadurang Marcos Sr. to the economy of our country?
01:58 The hope of the department is to present a balanced view.
02:02 It is also imperative, Mr. Speaker, that the youth of today will be informed of what happened in the past and the learnings of the past.
02:09 When it comes to this, it's an expertise thing.
02:14 When it comes to curriculum, we need to follow the curriculum and teaching strand
02:21 and respect what they think is the most appropriate and right thing to teach our students.
02:31 The change of teaching about Martial Law is being encouraged by the victims of human rights violations in the past.
02:41 Like the former Commission on Human Rights Chairperson and former Partylist Representative Eta Rosales,
02:47 who was arrested by the military in 1976, tortured, tortured and tortured for more than a month.
02:56 Don't you dare, I said, change and remove the name Marcos from the dictatorship.
03:04 They should not forget the truth.
03:08 There should not be any distortions of truth and it should be evidence-based.
03:16 This is the target of Project Gunita.
03:20 The mission is to counteract the manipulation of history.
03:26 It's big because you're removing the accountability when the military law was implemented.
03:32 So that Filipinos will not forget the history of Martial Law era in the Philippines,
03:38 Bantayog na Mga Bayani Foundation established the Bantayog na Mga Bayani Museum.
03:43 Here in Bantayog na Mga Bayani, more than 300 names are written here.
03:48 They are the Filipinos who fought during Martial Law, fought for the freedom of Filipinos.
03:53 Almost all of them are dead.
03:55 Many of them are gone and never seen again.
03:58 But in writing their names here, you have hope that somehow,
04:03 even sometimes, Filipinos will remember them and they will live.
04:07 We're dealing with facts here. We're dealing with historical truth.
04:11 Aside from Bantayog na Mga Bayani,
04:14 the plan for the establishment of Martial Law Museum is still in progress.
04:19 It was established in a law that was passed in 2013.
04:24 It is expected that Martial Law Memorial Park will be completed in December 2025.
04:30 It is still the time of the appointment of President Bongbong Marcos.
04:34 The Freedom Memorial Museum is a collection of facts.
04:39 What are the facts?
04:41 There were gross human rights violations during the Marcos Martial Law period from 1972 to 1986.
04:49 GMA Integrated News tried to get the statement of Malacanang for the Martial Law anniversary.
04:55 But Palacio said they will not release a statement.
04:59 For GMA Integrated News, JP Soriano, Tutok 24 Horas.
