The Heroes Who Fought Martial Law: Macli-ing Dulag

Macli-ing Dulag was a respected elder of the Butbut tribe in the mountain village of Bugnay in the Cordilleras.
He was considered wise and brave by those in the community, and he served three terms as barrio captain of
Bugnay. 

In 1974, the Marcos regime planned on installing a massive dam along the Chico River. The dam would have
been a 1000-megawatt hydroelectric power plant funded by the World Bank. It was planned that the structure
would cover 1,400 sq. kilometers of rice terraces, orchards, and local graveyards. The administration thought it
would meet little resistance from the indigenous tribes, even if it would displace over 100,000 people from their
homes.

The people found their voice in Macli-ing Dulag. Though he was not formally educated, Dulag found the right
words to defend his people. To this day, Dulag is known for his words against the dam project:

“Such arrogance to say that you own the land, when you are owned by it! How can you own that which outlives
you? Only the people own the land because only the people live forever. To claim a place is the birthright of
everyone. Even the lowly animals have their own place…how much more when we talk of human beings?”
Dulag and other Cordillera leaders solidified opposition against the dam through a series of tribal pacts.
Recognizing the critical role that he played, government soldiers murdered Dulag in his own house,
surrounding it in the night and showering it with bullets.

However, though their leader had died, the opposition against the dam stood firm. News of Dulag’s death
spread all over the country and even abroad. The World Bank withdrew its funding, and eventually, the
government withdrew its plans for the dam on Chico River. The indigenous tribes kept their homes.

Francis  Superal Sontillano
"Francis"
PSHS Batch 1972 (1st year)

Birth: May 5, 1955

Place of Birth: Sta. Barbara, Iloilo

"Perhaps the most moving story of a student martyr was that of Francis Sontillano, a 15-year-old high school
student activist from the Philippine Science High School (PSHS). On 4 December, 1970, Sontillano and his
friends from PSHS, who were members of the Malayang Kilusan ng Kabataan (MKK), joined a students' march
of about 5,000 rallyists to protest the unjustified nonreadmission of about 800 students in various local colleges
and universities. The number of dismissed and expelled student activists was increasing as university and
school administrators wanted to prevent them from causing further trouble in their schools. As the marchers
passed the FEATI building near the MacArthur Bridge, a big round object exploded on Sontillano's head....
... He died on the spot, in his rubber slippers, since in his haste to join the rally he forgot to put on his school
shoes. Though it was unclear where the pillbox came from or who threw it, Sontillano's death emboldened the
student activists even more, as they responded with a new battle cry: "Renew the fight for academic freedom!
Prosecute the fascist puppet-murderers mercilessly and undauntedly! Remember Francis Sontillano!"
(Graphic, 23 December 1970, 4-5, 45).

FAQs
1. Are there Filipino heroes outside of the Philippines?

Answer: Doing away with history books and superhero comic books, we find heroes in this day and
age in our midst. Yes, there are heroes outside the Philippines. They are the Overseas Filipino
Workers (OFWs) who are always regarded as the country’s “modern-day heroes” for the sacrifice they
give to provide for their families and also contribute to keep the economy secured.

a) A Law. Martial Law refers to the replacement of civil rule by military rule.This may be characterized by:
 curfews
 the dispensation of military tribunal rulings on civilians
 the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus
 Martial Law is a power of the President as Commander-in-Chief of all Philippine armed forces meant for
times of crisis and for the security of people and expediting justice.
 
b) A Person. Martial Law in the Philippines is usually equated to a person: President Ferdinand
Marcos. Some people talk about what Marcos was like and about what he did such as achievements and
abuses.
c) A Historical Event. Martial Law in the Philippines is often thought of as a historical event to learn about in
Araling Panlipunan class. It is often asked: What are the important dates? How did it begin? How did it
end?

d) The Problem. When people talk about it in just one way, it can oversimplify the issue. If it’s just a law:
Legal or illegal? If it’s just a person: Good or evil? If it’s just a historical event: Stuck in the past?
All these aspects are important, but they don’t give the whole picture. History is not just about picking
sides or memorizing facts.

e) The Call. The call is to honor our national memory by remembering Martial Law in the Philippines in all its
complexity. Students and teachers should be empowered to learn and teach the lessons of Martial Law in a
way that leads towards an engaged citizenship in our present society.
