That tweet of Junior about Henry Kissinger reminded me of this memo Kissinger sent to POTUS when Martial Law was declared in #PH in 1972.
“As to our position, I believe we should refrain from comment on Marcos’ action, regarding it as a Philippine matter.” #ML50 #MartialLaw50
“As to our position, I believe we should refrain from comment on Marcos’ action, regarding it as a Philippine matter.” #ML50 #MartialLaw50
“President Marcos’ ambition to hold onto the Presidency after his constitutional limit of two terms runs out at the end of next year is well known.” - Kissinger 1/2
“In this context, and as his first-term lustre as a reform president has dulled, he has constantly underlined the deteriorating security situation as posing a need for a strong leader and improved discipline.” - Kissinger 2/2

(thread) The real question we have to ask in remembering #ML50 is less how did Marcos manage to get away with it, but rather, how did so many who knew what was coming, fail to stop it? The timeline reveals to us it was like a trainwreck in slow motion. philippinediaryproject.com/2021/08/27/a-t…
I have my own theories from reading up and listening to those who were active then. My theory is it took 1962-76 he actually did it in a lot of stages. What Makoy had going for him: every institution that could resist had cells of Marcos minded people. In media, Doroy Valencia...
in the courts, Fred Ruiz Castro, the Ilocano generals and all the colonels pissed off with the Commission on Appointments; legions of parents freaked out by hippies, priests and bishops freaked out by Reds, ditto businessmen big and small. Against him the usual intelligentsia...

Just finished my talk for Cebu's Press Freedom Week. It was livestreamed here: facebook.com/cebucaritascci… #ML50
My talk's entitled "Always revise," which I think, as hopefully we'll see, is a good and necessary thing.
This is a week heavy with memory, particularly this year, as we remember 50 years since martial law was proclaimed. But what we actually remember, or are called to remember, is itself interesting for what it reveals.
