How are Filipinos marking the 48th anniversary of the declaration of Martial
Law? Here is a running list of protests and activities.
President Rodrigo Duterte has become a “globally infamous dictator” akin to the
late strongman Ferdinand Marcos, an international coalition of human rights
groups said on Monday, following a European Union (EU) Parliament’s resolution
condemning the human rights situation in the Philippines.
As Filipinos commemorated the 48th anniversary of the late dictator Ferdinand
Marcos’ declaration of martial law, academics on Monday grappled with an
interesting question: How does one distinguish between historical “revisionism”
and “denialism” about the events of that dark era?

Filipino netizens 'rewrite history' was a Filipino politician and kleptocrat, who was President
of the Philippines from 1965 to 1986. He ruled as dictator under martial law
from 1972 until 1981. While his regime started an unprecedented number of
infrastructure projects and monuments (known colloquially as an "edifice
complex" and at great taxpayer cost), it also became infamous for its
corruption, extravagance and brutality.

2016: The year the Marcoses had it so good
Patty Pasion December 14, 2016
Sure, the nation had not collectively forgotten Martial Law, but that dark
chapter in our history was probably not foremost on anyone's mind at the start
of 2016. That was, until the only son and namesake of dictator Ferdinand Marcos
started climbing up in election surveys and, later, the family won its
decades-long campaign to bury the former president as a hero.
This is where 30 years have brought the country. In 1986, Marcos was ousted from
power as thousands gathered peacefully on EDSA

talks between the government and the National Democratic Front resume next year,

Marcos. Duterte himself championed it and now, after the burial, continues to
defend it, but it's the Marcoses who are getting it from the protesters, almost

As if we haven't had enough of it, Senator Imee Marcos on Thursday, January 23,
spread some gossip in a media forum.
In the forum, Marcos was asked about her reaction to the
cancellation of the US
visa of her colleague, Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa. She said she's heard
about it, adding that it seemed other officials have been "blacklisted" too.
There's news about that and I know that Senator Bato would not be able to go to

blacklisted or held at the airport too.

Coco levy fund scam: Gold for the corrupt,
crumbs for farmers
by Camille Elemia January 21, 2017
Part 1: Many coconut farmers have died waiting in vain, and with them went the
hope they would one day reap the 'rewards' of what's seen as among the biggest
scams of the century.
The 3 are among the 3.5 million coconut farmers, earning an estimated P16,000
annually and belonging to the country’s poorest of the poor. They are victims of
the coco levy fund scam from 1971 to 1983 under the Marcos administration, with
collected taxes amounting to P9.7 billion.
These farmers were taxed by the government, only for their payments to be used
by former president
Ferdinand Marcos and his alleged cronies, Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco Jr,
Juan Ponce Enrile, and some others, to invest in and buy businesses for their
own benefit.
by Camille Elemia January 22, 2017
PART 2: More than the long, arduous fights in court for the coconut levy funds,
the main battleground is in Malacañang and Congress, where politics comes into
play.
The controversial coco levy fund began under former president Ferdinand Marcos
in 1971 when he and his cronies enacted a law that imposed taxes on coconut
farmers’ products.
But more than 4 decades since then, coconut farmers have yet to receive their
"promised rewards." What happened to the billions of pesos of coco levy funds
under each administration?
by Camille Elemia January 23, 2017
PART 3: Will the coconut farmers, among the country's poorest of the poor,
finally claim what is rightfully theirs as promised by the President?
It's been a promise made in every presidential campaign – that government would
finally return the money to coco farmers. Yet, almost 45 years since former
president Ferdinand Marcos and his cronies, including Eduardo "Danding"
Cojuangco Jr, imposed coco levies or taxes on coconut products, farmers have yet
to see and feel the “reward” promised them.
