On September 21, 1972, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. unleashed full-blown dictatorship by declaring martial law over the Philippines. His military rule plunged the country deep into debt, economic crisis, and unspeakable violence against the people. Fifty-one years later, the dictator’s son, Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr., has clawed his way back to the highest seat of power. And while BBM desperately tries to wash the blood from his family’s name, BAYAN USA marks this anniversary by pledging to never forget the atrocities of the Marcos Dictatorship.

JOIN BAYAN USA in actions across the country commemorating the 51st anniversary of Marcos Sr.'s declaration of martial law. We say "Never Again!" and "Never Forget!" to the Marcos Dictatorship.

Today marks four years since the attempted assassination attempt on Brandon Lee's life by the Philippine military. And while the government remains silent, the people's movement continues to cry for justice for Brandon and all peoples in the Cordillera.
