00:00 The 5th decade and 1 year anniversary of the declaration of Barceló in Mariano Marcos Street, San Juan City is being celebrated.
00:10 It was led by Senator Aimee Marcos and several generals and other media outlets.
00:17 Former President Ferdinand E. Marcos passed the Proclamation No. 1081 of September 21, 1972,
00:27 where the Philippines under the military law promised to implement various reforms
00:35 to achieve peace and prosperity in the Philippines.
00:39 Although the Marceló was announced on September 23,
00:44 the document was signed on the 21st.
00:49 The panel discussed several parts of the history and misconceptions about the Marceló.
01:01 My father said and he wrote, "Great decisions are made for us as much as we make them."
01:09 I am to be sure accountable for history for 21 September 1972.
01:18 When I signed the Proclamation placing the entire Philippines under Marceló,
01:24 and yet solely and completely responsible as I am for this decision,
01:31 the most difficult decision of all, it was for the sake of the nation.
