[ MARTIAL LAW — SEPTEMBER 21 ]
The Sanggunian joins the nation in remembering the placement of our nation under Martial Law on September 21, 1972. This dark and wounded chapter in our history marked compromised freedoms, human rights violations, and silenced voices under the Marcos dictatorship.
To remember Martial Law is not only to honor the victims and survivors of dictatorship, but also to take action against the injustices of today.
In this spirit, the Sanggunian will stand alongside and support our fellow Filipinos who will participate in the Trillion Peso March—a collective call for truth, accountability, and good governance. Just as we guard against lies and historical distortion, we must also unite against corruption and oppression in all its forms.
May this day remind us that the struggle for democracy is not over, and that hope is built when we choose to act together.
