Apologies!On the 50th anniversary of Executive Order 1081—Ferdinand Marcos, Sr.’s proclamation of Martial Law in the Philippines—Jill and Edgar are joined by Rene and Josie for a special episode to close out the first season of On the Frontlines.With announcements of Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. being invited to speak at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York City the day before the anniversary, actions were called across the country to condemn his visit and project the true history and issues of the people.The evening before the podcast, Filipino community leaders across King County called for justice for the survivors and victims of Martial Law. At Seafood City in Tukwila, community members gathered to remember all the martyrs and survivors of Martial Law and to soundly reject the United States-Marcos II regime.“Community members are appalled that Marcos, Jr. has been invited to speak on this painful anniversary,” said Marie Artap Regional Coordinator of BAYAN USA Seattle. “It is a slap in the face to all the courageous Filipinos who survived torture and economic ruin and the families of those who were killed at the hands of the Marcos family.”Recorded on September 21, 2022.Check out:Never Again!
