Prelates: Remember lessons from martial law - Manila Bulletin

Bishops Broderick Pabillo of the Archdiocese of Manila, Ruperto Santos of Balanga, and Arturo Bastes of Sorsogon said some Filipinos tend to keep silent amid the wrongs they see in the society.

“We have to value, defend, and promote our freedom. But, sad to say, we tend to forget and take it for granted. There are political leaders who are self-serving, using their position to enrich and prolong their power. And we allow ourselves to be bought during elections or we just keep silent instead to speak about abuses,” said Balanga Bishop Santos.

Retired Sorsogon Bishop Bastes said while the patriotic and mature Filipinos have learned a lot of lessons from martial law, many Filipinos seem to have a “short memory” of the horrors of that period.

No i remember the lessons after Martial Law.
