Revisiting Martial Law

One of the flourishing time of our nation is the administration of Ferdinand E. Marcos.
Philippine Heart Center, San Juaniquo Bridge, LRT, MRT, Alliances with other countries and
many more as the observable and empirical remnants of the thriving Marcos’s days even up to the
present. Nevertheless, all of the auspicious contributions turned out into bloodshed days as the
Honorable proclaims his dictum of Martial Law.

Those days of Martial Law in the Philippines was the doleful and drastic time due of
tortures, assassinations, sexual abuses; more so the Philippines was dragged into ruins, to the extent
that the arbitral arrest of ingenuous citizens, inhumane and unjust killings, absolute prohibition of
goods, medias, and even the curtailing of the freedoms of expression and speech occurred.
However, martial law per se is not the typical view of many as an undermining power, rather this
is an effective management of one’s country as to have the assured order and peace, for it except
one’s country in great perils, exclusion in terrorisms and insurgencies, removal of corrupt officials,
and promotes equality and equity. Moreover this type of government is can be stressed as good
for a short duration of time and if the leader is has a good objective and clever in terms of
management.

At our age, the Philippines has been enduring severe cruelty of corrupt government
officials, terrorisms, abuses, illegal drug possessions, often assassination of public posts officials
and even clergies, and many more in a long run, this is the drawbacks of the misuse of democratic
rule of government. The Filipinos has been exceeding to the boundaries of freedom of expression
and speech that’s why fake news, unnecessary protestations, profanities has existed. If martial law
functions in the Philippines collectively for a mean time maybe there’s a great possibility that the
problems that we are undertaking in the present days will be diminished. The stern consistent
attitude in a government is necessary for the restriction of possible abuses and duplicity.

“Men ought either to be well treated or crushed, because they can avenge themselves of
lighter injuries, of more serious ones they cannot; therefore the injury that is to be done to a man
ought to be of such a kind that one does not stand in fear of revenge.”
