Paper Lifting
Amid widespread public
outrage, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo announced March 3 the lifting
of Proclamation No. 1017, which placed the country under a state of
national emergency. The said proclamation led to intensified crackdowns on
oppositionists and the media, greater aggression against the exercise of
civil liberties, and the detention of a number of political leaders – most
notably Anakpawis (Toiling Masses) Rep. Crispin Beltran. The Anakpawis
solon is still behind bars, while the crackdown on oppositionists and the
media continues and suppression of civil liberties is sustained. This
shows that the lifting of Proclamation No. 1017 was simply a paper
lifting.
Salungguhit literally means to
underline; figuratively, to
underscore or highlight.
