Item Title Martial Law: Prelude to Dictatorship
Speaker Manglapus, Raul S.
Date CreatedAugust 10, 1973
Description

Manglapus criticizes President Marcos as "dictator" of the Philippines and for declaring martial law. The speaker wants the United States to step in, not with a military presence, but with diplomacy. If U.S. diplomacy worked to restore civil liberties and elections, and to reconvene the Constitutional Convention, then Filipinos can save their own democracy.
