    Doctor’s arrest recalls horrors of martial law

    By Tita C. Valderama  |  Feb 22, 2022 11:26 AM

    The arrest last Friday of Dr. Ma. Natividad Castro sends shivers down the spine of many who experienced martial law. It is something that should not be happening in a democracy, particularly under an administration that claims that the justice system is well in place and working.

    How Marcos kept his Martial Law plans a secret

    By Joel F. Ariate Jr. and Miguel Paolo P. Reyes  |  Sep 19, 2021 5:57 PM

    “Of course, Imelda and I denied it.”
    That was what then president Ferdinand Marcos wrote in his diary for September 21, 1972. It was his response when asked by Jose Aspiras and Carmelo Barbero, two of the strongman’s most loyal political lieutenants from the “northern bloc,” if rumors were true that he would declare martial law within 48 hours.
