Church leaders have urged people not to forget the lessons of martial law and never let its “horrors” happen again, reported CBCP News.
Bishop Ruperto Santos of Balanga made this call as the nation marked the 48th anniversary of the military rule by late strongman Ferdinand Marcos on Sept. 21.
“We have to learn from martial law and live its lessons, and should never let it happen again,” Santos said. “We have to value, defend, and promote our freedom.”
