life during Marcos' time....

mahirap ba talaga or exaggerated lang?

I mean wala ka na ba talagang magawa as in nasa bahay ka lang?

My mom said ok naman daw eh...

My dad even said ok nga daw si Marcos eh, pero he might be biased kasi he is a Chinese businessman so it was during the time of Marcos that the Chinese were finally allowed to do business and own properties...

Sabi ng lolo ko ok daw, sobra disiplinado, tas sabi naman ng lola ko maaga daw nauwi si lolo di na nang chichicks

Sabi naman ni erpats pag may mga balita like the carjacking with murder, wala daw ganun kasi pag nangyari yun di na daw makikita yung carjacker ever again, sobra takot daw ng mga kriminal.

Kaso yung nangyayari sa upper echelons nandun yung tunay na mga kriminal

ang totoong kriminal noon ay ang mga pulis or militar kasi pwde silang pumatay ng tao or ikulong, tapos sasabihing communista kasi kaya nila pinatay or kinulong, wala kang nababasa sa dyaryo na patayan or nakawan kasi bawal mag lagay ng masamang balita dapat puro maganda lang ang ibabalita, kontrolado nila ang media

i was a martial law baby.

i remember nung bata pa ko, me curfew talaga.

tapos me mga dinadampot talaga at nababagansya.

dahil nga di naman ako nagtatrabaho, di ko naman alam kung mahirap ngang kumita ng pera o hindi.

pero kung ang buhay na eh mahirap o hindi, parang pareho lang yata. parehas pa rin kailangan ng matinding pag-iipon para makabili ng mga luho.

eto ang na-obserbahan ko tungkol sa mga krimen...

marami noon ang krimen na me kinalaman (daw) ang me mga kapangyarihan.

ngayon, marami naman ang mga krimen laban sa mga kapwa tao.

Karamihan daw ng krimen ng pulis o sundalo sa probinsiya daw.. SA Maynila maingat ang mga pulis altho may nakakalusot. Karamihan daw ng dinadampot yung makukulit na rally ng rally at kontra ng kontra. Pero yung mga normal na tao na kumakayod lang at normal na nagtatrabaho parang ok naman sila

Madalas sa mga TVs yung mga endless replay of Ferdie's and Imelda's speeches. When the Peso went from 7 to 14 per dollar, I remember my parent's hoarding soap and other items. There were bombings towards the end of Marcos rule. Businesses were closing because no one wanted to invest because of Marcos cronies. When Philippine Blooming closed suddenly, rumours circulated Marcos cronies wanted to take over the company.

Partly true. Halos araw-araw may display of dead bodies in our plaza. They were covered with banana leaves. Families with female teenagers were always wary and so scared of soldiers courting or abducting their children. Life in the province during the dictator's regime was laced with the gory details of military abuses. At such a young age, it forced me to understand what gory is. Barbaric. Ruthless. Been caught in the middle of crossfire twice. My aunt lost me from her grip in the middle of the exchange of bullets. Fortunately, an armed person took me from the fray. The good side is...it makes me more tough. "I am a survivor"-this i always tell myself. But i want to shield my kid from that.

basta natatandaan ko noon, disiplinado tao. mahigpit sa jay walking. sinusunod kung saan ang mga bus & jeepney stops, disiplanado mga PUVs noon, at may curfew.

sikat noon ang kanta ni kuh ledesma...."ako ay pilipino"

at lagi kong naririnig noon, yung paulit-ulit na, "sa ikauunlad ng bayan....disiplina ang kailangan"
