For San Pedro City, Laguna Mayor Art Mercado, the rank-and-file employees who fulfill their duties inside the local government are more than simply employees.

Meanwhile, one of my elder maternal first cousins, Ramon “Monchet” Albert y Araneta called just as dawn was breaking. He told me that all the AM and FM radio stations were dead. Meanwhile, Charlie and Gerry called me for us to get together and go to the residence of Liberal Party (LP) President, Senate Minority Floor Leader and Senator (1967 – 1973) Gerardo “Gerry” Roxas y de Leon on P. Tuason corner EDSA. I informed Noel and Elin Mondejar and we all went to Senator Roxas’ home.

We have lived through the usual consensus approach to national problems. It reflects the liberal idea of limiting state power through the social contract. Our Constitution is built on this idea: it protects citizens from excessive government control through checks and balances, individual rights, and democratic process.

I have maintained the belief that in this age of digital media, social media, content creation, and misinformation (and disinformation), a formal declaration of Martial Law such as made in 1972 is no longer needed.

Today, blanket bans of websites or even cutting off Internet service – all in the name of national security and people's safety – is enough.

The recent, sudden bans of Reddit and Discord is just the beginning.

So are the reported plans to restrict access to Meta (Facebook, Messenger and Instagram) and requiring people to register via their National IDs. (Given the persistent problems we are having with our National ID system, I believe such a plan would be a logistical nightmare both for Meta and government agencies.)

OPINYON AT KATWIRAN

The United Nations (UN) was formed by the international community in the aftermath of World War 2.  The victors in that war wanted to ensure that the losers would never again resort to militarism, fascism, and the use of force in pursuing their economic and political ambitions.

In other words, no more aggression.
