ust like it was in the '70s, human rights in the Philippines are once again being trampled on. Those old enough to have lived through the martial law years—when dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his sycophantic cronies ruled the country with an iron hand—cannot help but notice the similarities between then and now. This is what happens when the rule of law and human rights are tossed aside for the sake of strict implementation of quarantine procedures during this deadly pandemic.
