Q: What is the impact of the slide bearing the date

28 January 1970 and the explanation of Prof. Chua?
List down 3 realizations that you came up with? *

A: 1) Prof. Chua was vigilant when he said that

Martial Law was then justified if it was proclaimed
during his SONA (Jan. 26, 1970) not the years later.
2) I also agree with Prof Chua on the part that Pres.
FEM already had a plan of an emergency- counter
measure following the riot during his SONA however
the late president wanted the "issue" to develop
naturally and after a massive terrorism by then he
will proclaim martial law or suspend the writ of
habeas corpus, which he could prevented if he
acted at that moment or year and not when the
gravity of the situation had already worsened. 3)
Pres. Marcos wanted an absolute authority following
the adaptation of unicameral legislature or
parliamentary form of a government with the fusion
of the executive and legislative, meaning he is both
the president and the prime minister.

Q: List down and explain 5 points that have great

impact on you from this lecture. *

A: 1) Not all communist or activist are against the

government. Activism is not terrorism. The state
should not censorship human's rights of freedom of
expression. Besides it is the government's
prerogative as public servant's to listen, empower
and uplift the people who voted for them. 2) There
was no need to suspend the writ of habeas corpus
because it impairs one of our constitutional rights,
presumed innocence until proven guilty, despite the
fact that in 1973 Constitution, it was expressly
stated that" the writ of habeas corpus shall be
suspended in cases of invasion, insurrection,
rebellion or imminent danger... (SEC 15 ART IV)."
Even arguendo, that there was indeed terrorism or
imminent danger, the writ should not be suspended
because it is unconstitutional and contradictory to
the privilege we should enjoy- universal human
rights. And when this is the case, the suspension of
the writ, it means to say that when you are red
tagged as my enemy you are prosecuted
automatically, which is an iniquitous ideology. 3)
Although some would say Marcos was correct when
He proclaimed Martial Law, because of the
"rebellion, terrorism, his assassination, coup d'etat
and of the like." The consequences of his
emergency counter plan was a grim and marked the
darkness of Philippine History following the figures
and prominent names that were victimized by the
brute military force. 4) The root cause of the growing

Democratic Rights, The Philippines is a democratic
state, a representative democracy to be exact
(means people elect representatives in running the
affairs of the government), undeniably, there are
numerous scenarios and cases of people were

principle of democracy, i.e the WILL of the people
shall be the basis of government's authority, taken
for example, the audacity to red-tagged media
outlets for personal vendetta's without invoking that
these "news/ articles" posted by these "media
outlets" are in conformity of everyone's rights and
freedom of thought, expression and opinion and
most importantly the 'fair use' of information. Other
instances is the famous EJK indulged and allowed
by the current administration, in its exercise as a
governing authority to rule as above the law (rule by
law) instead of rule of law; Third, Legal Rights, in
relation to EJK and other cases that diminish
democratic values and or principles, every people
have the right to a counsel, a fair public trial (due
process) , protection against government authorities
who deems to surpass Filipino citizens and most
importantly to be presumed innocent until proven
guilty. Fourth, Worker's or Laborers Rights,
undisputed that one of the rest of Filipino individuals
being exploited is the employees themselves. This is
to the fact that workers are subject to a low
minimum wages that can't even defray basic
necessities of a daily life, e.g farmers, Philippine's
poverty rate that even we invoke everyone's right
against involuntary servitude and child labor, there
are numerous children at a very young age work in

the seminary grounds for Leni-Kiko volunteers
because they have exhausted all possible means?
I stand with my opinion a while back, I firmly believe Obviously, none. To criticize and judge Bishop
that the Church is not the 'appropriate venues' for Mayugba for allowing such without even knowing
political rallies and platforms, Although, under and understanding what were his reasons instead
debatable circumstances depending on each of calling out other religious entities who are
perspectives, for me, The Church and the State partisan. How ironic and unfair Philippine is.
can't be separated considering the fact that
Philippines geographically is dominantly influenced
by the Religion and that most of governing laws
which the state enforced is in conformance with the
God's ethics and natural law.

To be honest, I agree with the anonymous priest

who told Ilocos Times that Churches are conduits
of moral guidance and not for idolizing/ endorsing a
specific candidate, it is a justifiable restriction in
which it prohibited them to voice out their opinions
but It is what "God/ Their religion wants," as
justified to one of the religious beliefs that: "Thou
shall have no other God before me."

However, the case where Bishop Mayugba opens

a religious ground for Leni- Kiko rally is different. As
I said, when it comes to Ilocos, it has always been
a stereotype that it is a "SOLID NORTH" who will
vote primarily to the Marcoses, given the fact that
most of our officials is dominated by Marcos' family
cronies. To be honest, I wasn't surprised that during
the Leni- Kiko events/ activities, there would be
diversion and bashing to the one of the bravest
crowds I known so far, not only from other Ilocano
loyalists but also in fact from Local Government
officials/employees. What surprise me the most is
that priori to the conduct of the said event, the
volunteers already exhausted any means to find a
place for such event, e.g. Aurora Park, a PUBLIC
