THE 'March for the Martyrs' was a spectacular event that saw thousands of Catholic students marching on Taft Avenue in Manila, carrying banners and placards, singing fervently the patriotic song 'Ang Bayan,' and demanding justice for students killed by anti-riot police of then-president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. when they staged a demonstration against injustice and corruption in 1972.
As Saint James writes, 'Faith, without action, is dead.'In this cemetery of dead faith, there is living faith in the hearts of small bands of true Filipino believers among the people of God who fight on. These are the brave Catholic activists fighting for the human rights and dignity of the oppressed and the poor. They are being threatened, arrested and falsely charged for being the prophetic voice of Gospel values and defending the rights of the poor and Indigenous peoples .
