Rappler Talk: Historian Ambeth Ocampo on what the Marcos diaries tell us

[@lizamalabanan4303]

This made me more critical in the way I see and perceive things. Sometimes there are people who are completely subscribed to their "version" of truth that it takes a discerning mind to sift through all the narratives presented to us. Thank you Sir Ambeth. God Bless.

I can relate to you Sir Ambeth. The goodness in you Sir Ambeth is that you try to know both sides of the coin. You dont just jump into a conclusion without deeper knowledge, understanding of the subject matter. Being fair , not because you want to please anybody, is what I can see from you. And it is my own opinion that at the end, you are the kind of historian who follows your great conscience which is very important for the generation and next generation to come to significant result in the apprehension of truth.. Is it an exra miles better if the historian is a psychologist ,too?

[@rushsoriano4767]

Absolutely true, that’s why is is really important to educate our people starting in the elementary schools, encourage them to read historical books, guide them to love our nation and instill in their minds that education is a weapon against oppressors of our nation. I feel so sad because I used to be a teacher but left the country because I cannot swallow the crooked education system.

But another great challenge our historians face today is the rapidly disappearing love for reading among the young people. It is very saddening to hear that story about one viewer of the Antonio Luna movie who asked why Apolinario Mabini is seen always sitting on a chair throughout the whole movie. Or that story about one contestant who was not able to answer a question about Gomburza. These stories became materials for jokes, something to laugh at. But for serious historians like Mr. Ocampo, it may come as something that is disturbing.

[@mlp3779]

Thank you for keeping us informed!!! I can’t forget how it was instilled in us in my high school days to be critical of history especially with text books and their sources. I agree that a historian will never be completely objective. I truly appreciated your talk and explanation. Sarap makinig sa kwento mula sa ating kasaysayan.

I also admire the critical thinking of Ms. Marites. Salute to the both of you.

Can we refer to the book Conjugal Dictatorship, authored by Primitivo Mijares to corroborate or deny the Diary that Marcos himself had written. Another fascinating and prolific writer Manuel Martinez in his book, The Grand Collision, Aquino vs Marcos, deal with the qualities of both men as influential political characters. Prof. Ambeth Ocampo's articles and books will surely overwhelm the readership of those who seek to check and balance their hate and love over these two great leaders who continue to dominate the political scene. Prof. Ambeth's book will be another educational treasure in my library.

[@lovellmanguilin7519]

Primitivo Mijares wrote the book Conjugal Dictatorship with cautiousness and free of any venomous or personal motives. As such confidential press officer and insider of Malacanñg, he held personal access to the myriad of marcos operations, acts and deeds.In Mijares' confession, he submitted documents to the U.S. Congress as testament to Marcos political greed. Mijares thus testified, he was bribed by Marcos agents and dissuaded from spilling the beans, to no avail. He stubbornly held fast and snubbed the bribe. Thereafter, Mijares disappeared without trace of his whereabouts.

The true legacy of the Marcos regime is way beyond our attemps to measure it materially and quantitatively. The denigration of the Filipino moral fiber resulted in a substantial portion of a populace that views corruption as normal occurrences in everyday life. Its influence is pervasive in government and is fueled by a complicit citizenry who came to believe that the greasing of palms is the most convenient way to get things done.

Having become intimate with the thoughts of Marcos by reading his diary, Ambeth Ocampo is displaying signs od Stockholm syndrome.... He needs some debriefing session to be able to view Marcos , and be concious of this reality.... that he is dealing with a crook and criminal person. The statement, that society is complicit for making Marcos do the crimes he has committed is sadly misguided... its like accusing rape victims and abused victims as complicit and be responsible for the actions of their abusers by letting them do it to them!

"Martial Law" 1. Plaza Miranda was bombed by Joma Sison to incite the people to rebel against Marcos and depose him. 2. To protect the government he declared martial law. 3. There were rallies and protest and later there was armed rebellion. 4. Most of those whe died in that rebellion were members of the CPP NPA and leftists who joined them. 5. Most of those who were arrested and tortured were likewise members of the CPP NPA and leftist who joined them. 6. If the CPP NPA succeeded in deposing Marcos, Joma Sison would have taken over the government. 7. If so, we would be a communist nation today and our country would be called PEOPLES' REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. 8. Those who died and those who were captured during the rebelion are traitors like Joma Sison and should be treated as such instead of enshrining them as if they are heroes.

In addition to that, Joma started the purge of his comrades due to DPA paranoia. A lot of dedicated cadres were killed either by inside political machination or as a result of kangaroo court. One thing I truly regret is the brainwashing of our highly intelligent students to join the movement and they were killed for nothing. The lesson for our history is that there’s no perfect system as long as it is run by men and women. Democratic, autocratic, monarchy and communism- they’re all the same.

What was it that allowed Marcos to do all of these things?" So in this way, dapat din tayo complicit doon sa kwento na yon. Me thinking to myself: Every man has a story, has a beginning.

I almost did not like to watch this interview because of the way Marites Vitug was asking questions. That slant. That tone. But I was encouraged by the way Ambeth responded.

Ang gagaling mg story telling,

[@vincefabros5467]

[@nenengjoy3121]

Thank you historian.. BBM-SARA ang dapat sa ngayong election May 9,2022 para suspense!

Thanks!

Ang comment mo, "pati nga nanay ay naiwan" ay may tono ng pagkasarcastic. Ang nanay niya noon ay wala sa Malacanang, nsa Heart Center. Bigla silang pinaalis sa palasyo, paano pa makukuha si Donya Josefa? Dapat Mr. Ocampo, hindi ganyan.

[@mariacarixtagle9896]

Shameless Naman ni Ambeth jan, it must be difficult kay FEM Sr. yan na maiwan ina nya, parang Hindi mga tao

[@anitaenecilla1687]

Binayaran Ang bills sa Heart Center...n Dona Josefa???

[@bibliophilipino2885]

Nakapagtangay po ng ilang crates na jewellery, currencies, etc. Nakapagsama ng 80+ katao. Hindi naman po sila iisang eroplano lang, at hindi naman siya ordinaryong tao para di makagawa ng paraan. In fact, he was in talks with the US at that time. Though we won't know for sure why he left without including his mother in his extensive entourage, but was able to take an astounding pile of valuables. The Philippine government, eventually, and for humanitarian reasons, under former President Cory Aquino settled the bill amounting to $57,250. The nonpayment by the Marcoses was confirmed by Dr. Esperanza Cabral, who was then the director of the Philippine Heart Centre. The PH peso stood at ₱38/$1 at that time.

There is no person that's totally evil. Even evil father can give bread to his children when asked.

[@ImEmilyThorne]

Just like Pablo Escobar

[@alecbiondi4309]

@asopo pilosopo sa version ni kristo dahil kakatapos lang ng holy week eto sinabi nya " magbigay di lamang sayong mahal sa buhay, di bat gawain din yan ng mga makasalanan ang magbigay sa kanilang anak o asawa" kaw na mag-categorized ng word na evil yan sa biblical word na yan.

Sir Ambeth ❤️‍🔥

[@mikevin5238]

Just an observation: Imee is the one most trained to keep a straight face and stay composed under pressure

[@jerielcalica9315]

Waiting for your annotations Ambeth. I really like your history books.

[@ronaldvillasenor4874]
