Proclamation No. 1081, dated September 21, 1972, Pres. Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law in the Philippines. Barely 10 years old at that time, but the ominous sound of sirens, the menacing presence of the military deployed across the country, and the imposition of CURFEW. Image
Media censorship ensued with only the Philippine Daily Express allowed to print and TV networks shutdown. The pretext of this was widespread political violence, rampant lawlessness by agitators and economic free fall.
In other words, a "national crisis" warranted this draconian reach of the sitting President. Marcos retained all of his powers as dictator until his ouster in 1986.
Our country is going through a national crisis brought about this COVID19 global pandemic. In response our PUBLIC OFFICIALS have imposed its will and the awesome power of the government, encroached on rights and freedoms we hold as inalienable.
Talks of an imposition of OVERREACHING LOCKDOWNS AND CURFEW is in fact a SUSPENSION OF CIVIL LAW AND LIBERTIES. Image
I have advocated for this:
1. Roll out rapid testing. A diagnostic kit for viral & bacterial test has been available since 2016 in this country. Results are in 10 minutes.
2. Strengthen support & increase resources to protect the most vulnerable, particularly among senior adults.
3. Practice social distancing, wear a mask, wash or disinfect your hands often and take personal responsibility in boosting your immune system.
4. Definite plan towards herd immunity through vaccination beginning with the most susceptible to the virus, front line workers and those engaged in the service industry.
I plead with the reasonable and the geniuses among our PUBLIC OFFICIALS to please be careful in wielding the AWESOME POWER granted to you by the PEOPLE! AN IMPOSITION OF A CURFEW...SERIOUSLY!

We're better than this.

Letting our lives be run by fear. We're better than this.

Snitching on the people who should be able to trust us. We're better than this.

Putting millions at risk so I can feel "safe". We're better than this.
Robbing our children and grandchildren of the opportunities we've had in life. We're better than this.

Accepting unscientific responses because we don't want to question. We're better than this.
Letting our country be divided along so many different lines. We're better than this.
