Philippines: 1966 Student Rally Against Ferdinand Marcos



The students in the Philippines are protesting the burial of the Dictator Ferdinand Marcos in the Heroes Cemetery.  I can't believe that 50 years ago, I was a Maryknoll student who also participated in student rallies against the Marcos Dictatorship. Here are some pictures from my scrapbook. There are two anti-Marcos stickers, and there's a newspaper clipping of a student rally. I'm in the picture, bottom, right. The rally was on November 5, 1966.
