Happy September 21 anyone?
I want to address the latest issue of how martial law crybabies are keeping the country backwards. It all started with the declaration of martial law for the first time in three decades in Marawi. The situation where the Matae terrorists were attacking called for the launching of martial law and you've got Dilawans crying "martial law". You even have them using children to participate in the rallies with #NeverAgainToMartialLaw.
Get Real Philippines reveals this fact that I've observed and I've been guilty off in my growing up years:
For Filipinos, however, being under Martial Law is the be-all-end-all most important national risk to be acutely vigilant about. Small surprise then that Filipinos find themselves today with an insanely paralysing national phobia for Martial Law that has resulted in (1) the implementation of a paranoid Constitution in 1987, (2) the rise to power of a vindictive oligarchy, (3) the propagation of a perversely-liberal limpdicked national ideology now known as Yellowtardism, and (4) a deeply-ingrained hatred for the police and military. In short, Filipinos have an entire governance framework and an entire political mindset motivated by fear of the past. This is why the discourse today remains fixated on the past and its bogeymen. What of the future? Nah, that requires too much thinking and courage. The past is the Filipino’s comfort zone.
There is the problem of the past is the comfort zone of anyone. Martial law crybabies tend to think martial law is evil because it was misused and abused. Going by their logic would mean adhering to Mar Roxas' solution to fighting the Martilyo Gang. It would mean removing something that's needed for national defense or daily living all because it was misused and abused. They don't see the problem with the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. is not martial law itself but it's that the military was involved with misuse and abuse. They don't even realize that martial law is still permitted in their paranoid 1987 Constitution and President Rodrigo R. Duterte is still acting according to the law concerning his actions in Mindanao.
After watching some of the late Ninoy Aquino's speeches where he requested Marcos Sr. to remove martial law blaming it for the rise of terrorism. What in the world was he talking about? I guess we know where Noynoy Aquino and Kris Aquino got their Abnoy gene. Just watching this speech makes me think did he even mastermind all the crimes he was accused of? If so, if he masterminded them then we probably didn't count on he'd be betrayed or if he attempted to he could have died before they were carried out. I wonder if the Philippines should even keep celebrating his death anniversary. If he really died as a result of his inattentiveness then dying because you were inattentive isn't heroism. It's stupidity. He should have stayed in Boston as his political rival Marcos Sr. would have told him. Instead, he decided to defy that simple guideline. That would make him a #FakeHero in the midst of another #FakeHero.
The problem is that martial law crybabies are continuously born because parents also teach the same value to their children. My growing years made me think that was that Marcos Sr. was a villain and Ninoy was a hero. Just because somebody opposed a villain doesn't make him a hero. If ever Marcos Sr. ordered those killings that would still not justify what the Light-a-Fire movement did. Shooting Ninoy at the Manila International Airport is also plain wrong because it could have also hurt or even kill an innocent bystander. Whoever shot Ninoy was also not a hero. You've also got PNoy Pride stuck in our education system. Raissa Espinosa-Robles can go ahead and accuse President Duterte of cherry picking all the while the Dilawans are also guilty of what she's accusing him of. What they don't realize is that the 1987 Constitution made cronyism even worse under the form of the oligarchy.
What they don't see is that sometimes you need military intervention in a state of extreme disorder. The Matae terrorists are everywhere so there should be military checkpoints. This doesn't mean suspending the rights of civilians. It only means it's time to have curfews to protect the people. This would also mean having nightshift workers get their permit as not to mistake them for terrorists. that's what the current administration is doing. The only time martial law would be wrong is when the head of state would decide to misuse and abuse it. It's not like as if there's unlimited power in receiving emergency powers. This military intervention is absolutely necessary because the police can no longer handle that evil terrorist family in Marawi.
I wonder if the Yellowtards even think their own actions are putting their loved ones in danger. If they're against martial law all because it was misused even when its declaration was needed then that's something to think about. For Raissa making up noise because of curfew I wonder how she'd like any grandchildren she has would get kidnapped because her son and daughter-in-law allowed them to stay out late at night. Would Cheato Gascon want it that his own wife and daughter both get raped and murdered by terrorists because he would oppose military intervention. While it's valid to raise concerns about military abuse but it doesn't make the military useless. Martial law is still necessary in times of extreme calamity as long as there's check and balance to make sure it's used properly and that emergency powers are limited.
