Robredo to Pinoys: Remember horrors of

martial law
Helen Flores (The Philippine Star) - September 22, 2019 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Leni Robredo urged yesterday

Filipinos to remember the horrors of the Marcos dictatorship as the country
marked the 47th anniversary of the declaration of martial law.

Robredo also reminded young Filipinos, who never knew the Marcos
dictatorship, to remember that martial law was not about political feuds but
about ordinary people who suffered under the abusive regime of then
president Ferdinand Marcos.

“For those who did not experience the violence, maybe it’s hard to think how
did we get to this point in our history,” she said.

Anak ng kagawad iniwan ng nobya, nag-

suicide
Raymund Catindig (Pilipino Star Ngayon) - September 21, 2019 - 12:00am

TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan, Philippines — Patay agad ang isang 22-

anyos na binata na anak ng isang barangay kagawad matapos magbaril sa
sentido nang kalasan ng kanyang nobya sa Brgy. Palattao, Naguilian, Isabela
noong Huwebes.

Sa report ng pulisya, umuwing lasing si Joseph Pascua saka muling lumabas

ng bahay at doon sumunod ang ali-ngawngaw ng putok dakong alas-9:45 ng
gabi.

Sa ulat, tumanggi nang ipadala ng mga magulang sa pagamutan ang anak

nang makita nilang wala nang saysay ang anumang atensiyong medikal dahil
sa malalang tama nito sa kaliwang sentido. Gayunman, isinuko ng amang
opisyal ang cal. 45 baril na ginamit ng anak sa pagpapakamatay para sa
kaukulang ballistic examination at masuri ang papeles nito.
