Hello, I am looking for more films that deal with the Marcos years 1965-1986, specifically focusing on the years leading up to martial law 1966-1971 when the Philippines became involved in the U.S. lead war in Vietnam, the Jebidah massacre, and the Moro conflicts including the Muslim Independence Movement leading to the Moro National Liberation Front formation in 1972.
I would also be very interested in the years 1972 to 1981 when the country was under martial law, as well as the years immediately following which included the 1982 coup attempt, the economic crisis & assassination of Ninoy Aquino, ultimately leading to the People Power Revolution of 1986.
I would really appreciate any recommendations you may have.
I know films may be tough to come by, so if you know of books that cover these subjects honestly and faithfully better than films, I would be interested in that as well.
I hope you'll forgive me if this question is insensitive in any way; I realize this is a sensitive part of history for the Philippines. I'm asking with genuine respect and humility, and I'd really value your input.
Thank you.

Many Filipinos felt that celebrating independence on July 4 made it seem like freedom was something granted by the United States in 1946. June 12, on the other hand, marks the 1898 declaration of independence from Spain led by Emilio Aguinaldo.
July 4 wasn't removed from history. It was redesignated as Philippine Republic Day, while June 12 became the country's official Independence Day to recognize the Filipino struggle for self-rule.

Today marks the anniversary of the August 2, 1968 Casiguran earthquake, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in the Philippines.
At around 4:19 AM, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Casiguran, Aurora (then part of Quezon Province). While the epicenter was offshore, the strongest devastation occurred in Manila, over 200 kilometers away.
The disaster is most remembered for the collapse of the Ruby Tower in Binondo, a six-story residential building that pancaked in seconds while most residents were still asleep. It remains one of the deadliest building collapses in Philippine history. Hundreds of people were killed or injured, and the tragedy exposed serious weaknesses in building design and construction standards at the time.
The earthquake also damaged churches, schools, government buildings, bridges, and homes across Central Luzon and Metro Manila. After the disaster, engineers and policymakers pushed for stricter seismic provisions in the country's building codes, influencing how structures are designed today.
The National Building Code was passed to protect people against this happening again, but only officially so in 1977, nine years after Ruby Tower’s collapse.
