General Douglas MacArthur declared Manila a "Open City" to prevent more carnage and devastation from the coming Japanese soldiers in the country to start World War 2. This act of aggression shows that Japan will pay little attention to humanitarian concerns as it pushes through Asia. General MacArthur was likewise determined on that day to evacuate his forces from Luzon to the Bataan Peninsula and relocate his headquarters to the little island of Corregidor The primary goal is to shield the city's population and cultural landmarks from a potentially futile battle.

Many survivors from San Fernando died in POW camps due to illness, maltreatment, and deprivation The Freeport Area of Bataan is located at Mariveles, a former fishing village that is now the island's industrial hub.

Arrival of the Japanese at the island of Corregidor transpired on May 5 6, 1942, during the Second World War (1939 1945), the entry of the japanese in the island started the ultimate battle of Japan's invasion of the Philippines. Corregidor as a fortress island, ordered access to Manila Bay and contained several batteries. When the Japanese invaded the Philippines in 1941, American and Filipino forces retreated to the Bataan Peninsula and Corregidor to await foreign assistance.

General Douglas MacArthur leaves Corregidor against President Roosevelt's orders on March 11, 1942, after fighting to prevent Japanese dominance of the Philippines. He told his soldiers and the Filipino people, "I will return " On Corregidor and Bataan, 90,000 American and Filipino forces were le attacked Lack of support, 1944.

The Island of Corregidor was an island at the mouth of Manila Bay that served as a stronghold for the u s armed forces Although General Wainwright, the commander of U.S. Armed Forces, offered to surrender the island to reduce casualties, Japanese General Homma wanted a undisputed victory. On February 16, 1945, the U S Armed Forces returned to Corregidor Island with Operation TOPSIDE that had U.S. airborne troops parachute in to the island. This was a crucial part of the race between the Americans and Japanese to the capital of the Philippines, Manila. Today, the ruins of the island serves as a military memorial to the American, Filipino, and Japanese soldiers.

August 21, A1971 ugust 21, 1971

On the evening of August 21, 1971, two grenades were thrown at a Liberal political event in Manila's famous Plaza Miranda, killing nine people and nearly wiping out the then-top opposition's guns There was a backlash against FM, and he blamed the communists as a further justification for imposing martial law As the Philippine Treasury Secretary from 1833 until 1854, José Sandino y Miranda is honored with the naming of Plaza Miranda

A justification for martial law. Mijares included it in his book "The Conjugal Dictatorship", where Marcos instructed Enrile to "Make it look good, better if someone gets wounded or dies. Ensure that it appears in the late news." Enrile would admit 14 years later that it was staged during the February 1986 uprising. wakwak greenhils is famous for the exclusive leisure resort complex that covers almost 60% of the area, the wack wack gold and coutnry club.

As the night fell on the 23rd day of September 1972, the voice of Ferdinand Marcos rang across the nation’s radios and televisions as he declared that the country was now under the Martial Law (Martial Law Museum, n d ) This formidable event has been immortalized through the pictures of the late president seated behind his desk in the Malacañang Palace. A lesser known fact about Marcos was that he was obsessed with numerology Despite the Proclamation No 1081 being declared on September 23, the document that placed the country under Martial Law was antedated to September 21 because it is divisible by 7, Marcos’ lucky number (SpotPH, 2014)

On December 7, 1972, Carlito Dimahilig attempted to assassinate the former first lady Imela Marcos with a bolo knife during the awarding ceremony of her National Beautification and Cleanliness contest in an open air space at Nayong Pilipino which was located in Pasay city Currently, the Nayong Pilipino cultural theme is located at Mabalacat, Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga. (Rappler.com, 2016)

Several workers were killed on November 17, 1981, at around 3 a.m., when scaffolding collapsed as they labored to complete the Manila Film Center, an initiative of former first lady Imelda Marcos. Employees were killed in a variety of ways as the disaster unfolded, from being impaled on steel bars to suffocating in the quick drying cement they had to use This venue served as the primary theater for the 1982 First Manila International Film Festival, which ran from January 18 to January 29

Manila Film Centre, Pasay, Metro Manila

Ninoy Aquino International Airport

In August 21, 1983, the day Ninoy Aquino returned to the Philippines from the United States in the Manila International Airport (MIA) Upon leaving the aircraft he was in, gunshots were heard and the lifeless body of Ninoy Aquino tumbled down the stairs

The assassination of Ninoy Aquino triggered a chain of events that would eventually lead to overthrowing the Marcos Regime. The assassination would soon be remembered as the event that caused the Filipinos to seek for freedom and justice. The Manila International Airport (MIA) would then be renamed as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on August 17, 1987 by the Republic Act No. 6639 in order to the honor Ninoy Aquino.

PICC Plenary H

They were then taken to various places like Camp Aguinaldo, Loyola House of Studies, and a retreat house to keep them safe after they released a statement about what happened in the PICC Plenary Hall (Santos, 2013). This event was said to have sparked the start of the EDSA Revolution

On the 9th of February 1986, two days after the Snap Elections, enraged vote tabulators simultaneously walked out from the PICC Plenary Hall. These volunteers have noticed their superiors manipulating the votes, which led to them abandoning their posts.

Call for support happened on february 22, 1986 at cubao. This event made aquino the first figure to publicly exhort people to gather at the Isetann Department Store and march toward the military camps to rally their forces together against the Marcos dictatorship. THE LOCATION was believed to have been named “Cubao” after folk tales of spotting hunchbacked (kuba) witches in the area

People of all ages were present, both children and adults. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country took to the streets, tired of the unjust system Marcos has been running Cardinal Jaime Sin called upon the people to support the rally, using the Catholic radio, Radio Veritas (Sanchez, 2021). This station became the main channel for protest communication during the People Power Revolution.

Epifanio de los Santos Avenue

On the 22nd of February, 1986, people started gathering on the famous Epifanio de los Santos Avenue to protest the win of the former president Ferdinand Marcos in the snap elections

Bonny Serrano Avenue after Colonel Venancio "Bonny" Serrano, a Korean War soldier with notable accomplishments (My Property, 2019). Explosions outside Camp Aguinaldo led individuals to cleanse their eyes and cover their faces with damp handkerchiefs (Santiago, n d ) Col. Braulio Balbas led Marcos loyalists into Camp Crame and onto the golf course More tear gas canisters were launched, but a strong breeze blew it back to loyalist soldiers (Inquirer, 2016)

Camp General Rafael T. Crame, EDSA, Quezon City

Seven armed Sikorskys land at the camp. Col. Antonio Sotelo and 15th Strike Wing defect Rodolfo Estrellado of military intelligence overestimated rebel strength, so Balbas trained incredible firepowers on Camp Crame Estrellado joined the rebels without Balbas's knowledge.
