1. Starting with this #InquirerBriefing, a thread with ten readings on the dictatorship and People Power, for a month heavy with memory for some, and which is increasingly remote for many more. #EDSA32 
2. Ferdinand Marcos and Us: a reflection on the dictator's attraction and appeal. quezon.ph/2017/09/11/spo…
3. Martial Law and Parental Guilt: the family is the backbone of society; when an undemocratic appeal is made, it can be powerful. quezon.ph/2016/09/21/the…
In my quest to look for a way to make complex timelines for a project I'm working on (on the model of this image), I found some apps/links that might be useful for those doing historical, project, data visualization, etc. work and need open-source (or free) tools. A rhread.
First, thank goodness for people who collate and share tools and information, such as this wonderful example. shsulibraryguides.org/digitalhistory…
From her entry in particular (because of my #PhilippineDiaryProject) this one looks promising, online OCR suited for old publications: github.com/OCR4all
A thread on one of the most intriguing but which will probably remain unexplored, factors in the 2022 campaign. Federalism. Interesting FM Jr. pick the Partido Federal instead of the KBL or NP to whom his family has had long-standing affiliations.
KBL is out because it brings back too many bad memories and NP is out because since the Laurels conveyed it to the Villars, it isn't wholly-owned by the Marcoses (and brings up the KBL, with thew Laurels keeping it alive).
FM Jr. has blown hot and cold on Federalism but this article quotes him accurately on his father: "Federalism was not new to the country, Marcos said, because it was adopted by his father,.. when the Interim Batasang Pambansa was created." newsinfo.inquirer.net/929263/federal…
An interesting article, and a remarkable realignment.
Havfe been mulling over India and us for some time. 1. quezon.ph/2007/08/27/the…
