Today’s Revolution: Democracy
"Sept. 11. On his birthday, Marcos releases the book, Today’s Revolution: Democracy. The book analyzed what was wrong with the country. It drew a picture of a heroic president trying to create a viable economy despite the hardships posed by the communists, “oligarch families” and elitist politicians. The release of the book was seen as the justification for martial law."[1]
The New Society To promote the New Society, the administration crafted a slogan “Sa ikauunlad ng bayan, disiplina ang kailangan" (For the nation’s progress, discipline is needed)[2], feeding on the racist propaganda of the Philippines' 400-year colonial period[3] (then less than three decades past) to push for "discipline" in the form of a “benevolent strongman” who could lead the country through a period of percieved chaos.[4]
