A PASTORAL STATEMENT ON THE COMMEMORATION OF THE 51ST YEAR OF THE DECLARATION OF MARTIAL LAW IN THE PHILIPPINES

This 21st of September 2023, we join the nation in commemorating the 51st year of the Declaration of Martial Law. The nightmarish experiences of one-man rule taught us to defend and value democracy and declare that never again should our civil liberties be imperiled, our human dignity violated and human life desecrated.
