What makes the 1973 Constitution constitutional authoritarianism? Briefly discuss the
Noong taong 1965, umupo sa posisyon ng pagka-presidente si Ferdinand Marcos Sr. Siya
ang ika-sampung pangulo ng Pilipinas, at siya at kaniyang pamilya rin ang isa sa mga pinaka
kontrobersyal na personalidad sa ating bansa. Noong 1967, ang konggreso ng ating bansa ay
Ang bagong konstitusyon na nais ipatupad noon ay ang 1973 Constitution, na siyang naging
dahilan upang manatili si Ferdinand Marcos Sr. sa kaniyang posisyon bilang presidente ng
gobyerno sa ilalim ng martial law kung saan, ang dating apat na taong termino bilang isang
Martial Law. Minanipula niya ang mga dokumento upang patuloy siyang manatili sa posisyon
bilang presidente ng Pilipinas. Bukod pa roon, nagkaroon ng plebisito na siyang magiging daan
ito ay ipinag-paliban dahil kinatakutan ni Marcos Sr. ang maaaring pag boto ng publiko laban sa
konstitusyon. Ang lahat nang ito ay naganap bago pa matapos ang kumbensyon. Sa madaling
salita, naging daan ang bagong konstitusyon upang makapag patupad ng Martial Law at mas
palakasin ang pasismo sa ating bansa. Ayon kay Tony La Vina, kaya binansagang
“authoritarian” ang konstitusyon dahil sa hindi tamang pag proseso nito. Nagpatupad din si
Marcos Sr. ng mga baranggay citizen assemblies at naglabas ng Presidential Decree No.86, na
naglalayong isuspinde ang reperendum. Bukod pa roon, nagkaroon din ng kakulangan sa maayos
na pag sasalaysay sa mga mamamayan sa mga tala ng bagong konstitusyon. Ang rehimen ng
dating pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Sr. ay puno ng karahasan, korapsyon, at pang aabuso sa
konstitusyong ito, malayang sinugpo ng dating presidente ang mga demokratikong institusyon at
paghihigpit sa mga kalayaang sibil. Bukod pa rito, sino mang tumaliwas sa kaniya o di kaya’y
maging kritiko niya at kaniyang pamilya ay sumasailalim sa iba’t ibang uri ng pang-aabuso.
Ayon kay Mccoy (2001, p.131), noong martial law, mahigit 3,275 ang naitalang pinatay; ang
mga sumailalim naman sa torture ay mahigit 25,000; ang mga ikinulong naman ay tinatayang
70,000; at 77 pursyento ng mga biktimang ito ay isinalvage. Sa dami ng mga biktima at mga
nasawi noong Martial Law, opisyal na idineklara ni Marcos Sr. ang pagtatapos ng martial law
noong January 17, 1981. Ngunit sa kabila nito, nagpatuloy pa rin ang mga pang-aargabyado sa
Kung iisipin natin, matindi talaga ang nagagawa ng pagiging gahaman sa kapangyarihan
sa isang tao. Dahil sa paghahangad ni Marcos Sr. na manatili sa posisyon bilang presidente ng
Pilipinas, maraming Pilipino ang naapektuhan. Bukod pa roon, matapos ang kaniyang rehimen,
nabaon sa matinding utang ang ating bansa dahil sa korapsyon na ginawa nila ng kaniyang
asawang si Imelda, upang mapanatili ang kanilang marangyang buhay. Nakakalungkot isipin na
kahit matindi ang ginawa nila sa mga Pilipino, marami pa ring mamamayang ang patuloy na

FINAL EXAM:
Briefly explain the importance of interacting with history through historical shrines and
It is important to look back to the past events that happened in our country. It’s because
we’ll have the opportunity to learn about our culture, traditions, and we will be able to find out
the reason why certain things in the present have been established and how it came to that point.
Because of these, there are establishments that give us the opportunity to explore and see the
artifacts from the past and the story behind them. Those establishments are what we call shrines
and museums.
Personally, interacting with history through shrines and museums is very important. It’s
because there’s a lot to learn in those places, and by interacting with history through those
places, you’ll get to see personally the objects that came from the past. Most of these artifacts are
owned by national artists like the “Spolarium” of Juan Luna, together with his other paintings
and sketches. You can also see taxidermies and dissected animals, historical records, artifacts
from different ethnic group, and other objects that were from the time when a certain historical
event happened. Learning about history through those places is very essential for a student like
me because I’ll have an opportunity to dig deeply about our culture and traditions as Filipino
citizens. Aside from that, I also enjoyed learning about the historical events face to face because
I can easily imagine how it happened. In addition to that, I can also imagine the past better by
seeing it than just reading it on books and images. When preparing for a visit on a museum, I
always wear something casual and I usually wear rubber shoes because I really love to explore
the whole area so I could see all the exhibits. When I’m inside a museum, we are often
welcomed by tour guides and they give us instructions, they also have a storage area where you
can put your bags and other possessions so you could explore the museum freely and to also
avoid robbery. Also, it is important to bring a tiny notebook so you could take notes about the
artifacts and the stories behind them. When you want to take photos inside a museum, flash is
prohibited because it might cause damages to the artifacts. Also, you must not touch the artifacts
in the museum unless; you are allowed to do so. It’s because, historical artifacts are very fragile
and they need extra care especially when handling them. Moreover, you must observe silence
when you’re inside a museum because you might disturb other guests and it’s extremely rude to
be loud inside a place full of historical artifact, and other people might not get a full experience
of the historical feel or ambiance of the museum. In addition to being loud, acting aggressively
like running or jumping inside a museum is also prohibited because you may knock some things
As a person who loves to venture museums and shrines, it is very important for me to
learn about history in those places because aside from having the complete experience of the
historical ambiance, I also get to gain deep information’s about the historical events that took
place in our country or a certain area. I also love learning the truth or stories behind the
possessions of our heroes and our national artists. Also, you can see the evolution of our planet,
the evolutions of animals, what events caused their extinction and etc. In simple terms, I can
learn so many things inside a museum and it also thought me to become more appreciative to our
history, tradition and culture. I hope the Filipino youth will love those places as much as I do.
