Martial Law Proclamation September 21









Today is a very remarkable day and we all Filipinos shouldn't miss it for a thing, why? Today September 21 is the day when former President Ferdinand Marcos proclaimed order no. 1081 for "martial law". 

September 21, 1972 is when this proclamation was signed.

As Jessica Soho on her late show mentioned we should remember how this day came about since this day did not only change how Filipinos lives is now it also brought about lives taken of which a lot of them are still missing and for all the sacrifices that this proclamation brought about we should take it as something so lightly. 

In my humble opinion as well since as one of the people who enjoys the free living in the Philippines it is but comforting to know that even to ourselves and to our children we may be able to tell them to acknowledge and thank the freedom we have now. Most of us Pinoy no longer remember anything about our past since we often believe "forget the past" but I think this is one of the many reasons why we should not forget since we should be grateful to many whom are not known who played the game of losing their lives for all of us today.
