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?

The Congress resolution extends the maintenance, availability, and release of the funds for victims of Marcos Martial Law human rights violations until December 31, 2019

The seeming lack of commitment of the State to play by the rules, and the absence of oversight functions to temper these transgressions resurrect the dormant fear of many Filipinos of the horrors of an authoritarian regime.

We argue in this article that, 3 decades after he was ousted, Marcos continues to have a substantial yet invisible impact on Filipinos today: Were it not for his bad economic policies and mismanagement, the average Filipino today would now be enjoying an annual income 3 to 4 times larger than what he or she currently earns.

The Department of Education (DepEd) has committed to a curriculum change that will show the "complete" picture of Martial Law, including the "corruption and human rights abuses" during that time.

Did Marcoses really win? Sandiganbayan justice chides PCGG in P200-B case
Lian Buan Dec 25, 2019 - with Video
Justice Maryann Corpus Mañalac, although concurring in the dismissal of the case, says unequivocally that the assets of the Marcoses are ill-gotten wealth, many of which have already been recovered

A 2003 court ruling proves that the Marcoses failed to justify the acquisition of their assets which exceeded their salaries as public officials.
FACTS: Total known assets seized from the Marcos family are way above the legitimate income they earned during the time they occupied Malacañang, computed in a 2003 Philippine Supreme Court (SC) ruling at only US$304,372.43. The Marcoses have failed to show proof of other legitimate sources of their wealth, thus the High Court used this to declare the family's Swiss deposits as ill-gotten.
