30 years after BS Aquino

IT’s March 2, 2046. It’s Independence Day 2, a day that uplifts the national spirit. Unlike those that transpired 30 years ago, the commemoration of this day is not concentrated in Metro Manila, EDSA specifically. Rather, it’s a day of celebration all over the country.

One of the highlights of this celebration is the inauguration of a Hall of Infamy, to remind the nation that it should never allow again a democratic government to commit atrocities usually associated with martial rule. This Hall contains pictures of victims of the Lupao Massacre, the Mendiola Massacre, the Hacienda Luisita Massacre, the Mamasapano Massacre and the Massacre of Lumads who never received justice even while the supposed democratic government was mouthing a straight path of justice and truth.
