Abstract

The study aims to uncover the personal experiences, community responses, and socio-political dynamics of the Iliganons during the Martial Law years from 1972-1981. By examining these diverse narratives, the research seeks to provide a deeper understanding of how Martial Law impacted the Iliganon’s life and influenced local history. This study employs qualitative research, including mixed method of oral history archival research, and descriptive-narrative mode of writing. The researcher interviewed one hundred (100) respondents and consulted primary persons or key informants of the study. However, all forty-four barangays in Iligan were not included. Instead, the researchers intentionally selected ten barangays namely the Saray-Tibangaa, Mahayahay, Pala-o, Suarez, Maria Cristina, Tambacan, Tubod, Buru-un, Hinaplanon, and Kiwalan—as the focus areas. These barangays, chosen for their dense populations and significant impact during the implementation of Martial Law, that play a crucial role in the study. The proponent collected first-hand accounts and historical documents to present various narratives of the Iliganons to elucidate the time’s socio-political climate.
