Task Force Detainees of the Philippines (TFDP) and Youth for Rights (Y4R) together with partners and members in several campuses held series of photo exhibits to commemorate the 38^th Anniversary of the Declaration of Martial Law by the late President Ferdinand Marcos in September 21, 1972.

“We cannot avoid but reminisce the dark years of Philippine history so that we may never ever forget the supposed lessons learned by our people. We remember, so that the atrocities of martial rule will never happen again.”  Emmanuel Amistad, TFDP Executive Director said in a statement.

The photo exhibit dubbed as “Ganito sila nuon… Hindi na tayo papapayag ngayon!” was launched in De La Salle College of Saint Benilde, Taft campus in September 20, 2010.  It was in partnership with the CSB-Center for Social Action and Y4R members in DLS-CSB.  Leo Cortez of the CSB-CSA and Jonal Javier of TFDP headed the cutting of ribbon to open the photo exhibit that will run until September 24, 2010.

Y4R members in University of Makati and members of Collective Arts of Students and Thespian (CAST) performed during the said ceremony.

In September 21, 2010, the same exhibit opened in St. Joseph’s College in Quezon City.  It was spearheaded by St. Joseph’s Y4R chapter.  The opening of the exhibit was graced by Mr. Factor, the adviser professor for Y4R in St. Joseph.

The Photo Exhibit will also open in De La Salle University (DLSU) in Taft Avenue Manila and Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) in Intramuros Manila soon.
