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
“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
