Through various general orders, Marcos effectively put the entire power of

government under the rule of one man: his own. He was to lead the nation and
direct the operation of the entire government. He ordered the armed forces to
prevent or suppress any act of rebellion. Curfew hours were enforced, group
assemblies were banned, privately-owned media facilities
shuttered. (READ: Marcos’ Martial Law orders)

ANSWER:
According to this article, even though the Anti-terorrism Law is not yet applying the
rule in the entire nation but then it is same as the Martial Law, no its more than
Martial Law. As I compare the situation today during the Martial Law, it is more look
like during this pandemic, the Covid-19. Where people is like a prison in which we
can’t go out to our house and governed by government where any police and
barangay officials are watching over us every hour every day. Single move that
against the protocol then you will be arrested just like during Martial Law that who
are against the government will be arrested too.

History is the study of the past. Where the past can be the basis and example in the
present or in the future. So history is the branch of knowledge that we can apply and
used to consider the happening in the present or in the future for we know what will
be the best decision we can make to our lives.

Knowing events in the past is important to understand the present in a way of


comparing it and make it as a basis in doing decisions and formulations. It enables us
to prepare in the future because the past events sets as an example to be used in
planning our future.
