The Martial Law Series: The Manili Massacre and the Boyet and Primitivo Mijares Case

About this episode

This episode features the Manili Massacre and the case of Primitivo Mijares, exploring historical context and ongoing struggles related to Martial Law in the Philippines.

LagimFam, in this instalment of the Martial Law Series, I have a double feature. Firstly, I feature the case of the Manili Massacre, one of the many Marcos-era massacres that was perpetrated against the Bangsamoro People. This part of the podcast is heavy with historical context in order to undertand the Bangsamoro struggle for self-determination better and trauma left by not only the Manili Massacre but all the atrocities inflicted on Muslim Filipinos. In the second part of the episode, I talk about the Boyet and Primitivo Mijares case, one of those Martial Law mysteries that we still do not have full answers to. From being in the Marcosian inner circle to becoming a defector, Primitivo Mijares, dared to expose Marcos and his cronies and paid a very heavy price. Sources are here .
