How can personal memory deepen our understanding of history?

Join us for a rare opportunity to walk through history with those who lived it.

In partnership with Bantayog ng mga Bayani and Survivors' Hub, the Human Rights Violations Victims’ Memorial Commission (HRVVMC) presents 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗺: 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿𝘀 at The Freedom Memorial Museum Gallery.

More than a guided tour, this experience invites visitors to encounter history through the voices and memories of Martial Law survivors themselves. As they share their firsthand experiences and reflections, the museum becomes a living space of remembrance, dialogue, and learning—bridging past and present while challenging historical distortion and misinformation.

This special initiative forms part of the celebration of the 80th Anniversary of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and its theme, “Museums Uniting a Divided World,” while also commemorating the 54th year marking the declaration of Martial Law in the Philippines.

𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗴-𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗮𝗹𝗮: Marra Lanot Lacaba

Lubos na nakikiramay ang Human Rights Violations Victims’ Memorial Commission (HRVVMC) sa pamilya, kaibigan, at mga naulila ni Marra Lanot Lacaba, na pumasakabilang-buhay noong Agosto 16, 2026, sa edad na 82.

Isang kilalang makata, peryodista, at g**o, si Marra Lanot ay naging mahalagang boses sa panitikang Pilipino at sa pagsusulong ng karapatan ng kababaihan at mamamayan. Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pagsulat at walang-sawang pagpapahayag, nanindigan siya at naging kabahagi ng malawak na kilusan para sa demokrasya at katarungang panlipunan.

Siya rin ang katuwang sa buhay ng beteranong manunulat at bilanggong pulitikal na si Jose “Pete” Lacaba, na isa sa mga opisyal na kinilalang biktima ng paglabag sa karapatang pantao noong panahon ng Batas Militar sa ilalim ng Batas Republika Blg. 10368.

Mananatiling buhay ang kanyang pamana sa larangan ng panitikan at sa kasaysayan ng pakikibaka ng bayang Pilipino.

𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗡𝗔𝗡: Nakibahagi ang HRVVMC sa paggunita ng ika-43 anibersaryo ng kamatayan ni Senador Benigno “Ninoy” S. Aquino Jr.

Bilang pagpupugay, nag-alay ng mga bulaklak ang mga opisyal at kawani ng Komisyon sa iba’t ibang bantayog ni Ninoy Aquino sa Kalakhang Maynila. Inirepresenta rin ang HRVVMC ni G. Patrick I. Claudio, Punong Mananaliksik sa Kasaysayan, sa opisyal pag-aalay ng bulaklak na inorganisa ng National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) na ginanap sa NAIA Terminal 1.

Sa ilalim ng Batas Republika 9256, idineklara ang Agosto 21 ng bawat taon bilang Araw ni Ninoy Aquino, isang special non-working holiday. Kinilala rin ng Human Rights Victims’ Claims Board ang dating senador bílang isa sa mga motu proprio na biktima ng paglabag sa karapatang pantao noong panahon ng Batas Militar, sa pamamagitan ng Kapasiyahan Blg. 18-2018. Dahil dito, naisama ang kanyang pangalan sa Roll of Victims. Bilang bahagi nito, tungkulin ng HRVVMC na magsagawa ng mga programang pang-alaala upang bigyang-pugay ang kanyang buhay at ipinakitang katapangan.

Patuloy nating gunitain ang kanyang sakripisyo at paninindigan, at ipagpatuloy ang adhikain para sa kalayaan, karapatan, at katarungan na kanyang ipinaglaban. Hamon sa ating lahat ang huwag hayaang mabalewala ang mga aral ng kasaysayan—kundi ay ipamana sa susunod na henerasyon ang parehong tapang at malasakit para sa bayan.

Paggunita sa ika-43 na Taon sa Pagkamartir ni Ninoy Aquino.

Sa kasaysayan, naging mahalagang punto ang pagpaslang kay Ninoy upang lalo pang lumakas ang mga protesta at panawagan para sa pagbabago sa rehimen ng Batas Militar. Sinubukang kontrolin ng censorship ang asasinasyon at pagtakpan ito. Ngunit naging mas nangibabaw ang pagpapahayag at boses ng nagkakaisang at nagluluksang mga Pilipino.

Noong nakaraang dekada, nagkaroon ng kampanya na “I am Ninoy” upang maipakilala si Ninoy at ang kanyang diwa sa bagong henerasyon. Sa ngayon, nawa'y gunitain natin ang kanyang pagkamartir sa pag-alala at sa pagbibigay ng pananagutan sa mga pang-aabuso sa kapangyarihan.

Ang hamon sa atin ay ang ipagpatuloy na ipagtanggol ang dignidad, karapatan, katotohanan, at demokrasya: ang Pilipino at ang Pilipinas na ipinagbuwisan ng buhay ni Ninoy.
