The past is never simply left behind. It is remembered, retold, challenged, and continually brought into the politics of the present.

Drawing from the newly published Routledge volume Marcos, Martial Law, and the Complexities of Memory in the Philippines (2026), co-edited by John Lee Candelaria, Kerby C. Alvarez, and Jamie Pring, the lecture explores how memories of the Marcos era are created, contested, and circulated across institutions, communities, and digital spaces. It also examines how competing interpretations of the past continue to influence Philippine politics today and shape its democratic future.

More than a discussion of history, this lecture invites students to reflect on the politics behind remembrance itself: Who shapes a nationโs memory, and what happens when the past becomes a site of political struggle?
As part of the Departmentโs continuing internationalization initiatives, this lecture is organized in collaboration with Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) and brings together Political Science students from MSUโGeneral Santos, MSUโMaguindanao, and Indonesia.
Join us as we open another semester of conversations that move beyond borders, connecting classrooms in Mindanao with scholars and students from across the region and beyond.
International conversations. Shared histories. Political perspectives without borders.
