    ROQUE, Angelo Legal Philosophy,

    1-SPL January 22, 2019 Movie


    Reflection Paper Atty. Jacome

    LiWHY
    The proliferation of fake news and history revisionism used as a weapon of propaganda,

    truth has become its bloody victim. Too sharp is the weapon of misinformation that it has proved

    to be a weapon of mass destruction. People has come to believe or disbelieve facts of Martial

    law. Stories of the victims of Martial law seems inexistent or all it seems didn’t happen. Liway is

    relevant in this time. It is a gold, a voice in the wilderness. It is an ode to everyone who chose not

    to stay silent, those who chose to speak up and fight back in those dark times in our history and

    in present, dark times of propaganda that utilizes misinformation, lie, deceit and historical

    corruption.

    Liway has presented the film in grandeur manner of simplicity. The best way to combat

    appealing lies of propaganda is simple story telling, striking bulls eye, touching the hearts of the

    viewers. The story unfolds through a mythical enchantress, story told to Dakip. I felt

    Goosebumps as it unfolds. A grandeur exposition of truth, wrapped in the story told. After the

    movie, I exclaimed, she truly is an enchantress. The story is true!


    It made me wonder, made my mind wander. I’d rather read or believe in the enchantress

    and wizards fighting injustice, tyranny and dystopia than read blogs stating half-truths, twisted

    truths and corrupted truth. I felt ambivalence after as I also felt sad, sad that in reality, people

    believed something more that fiction, something stranger than fiction. I asked my self, what

    could be done? I told myself, LiWHY must not be just an accident name for Liway. The movie is

    deep, hunted me after the movie. This movie must be watched by many, but this could be

    dismissed as the one proliferating misinformation.

    I sometimes envy other courses of my classmates in law school. They had a way to make

    use of their undergraduate courses. Accountants, good in taxation or othe subjects or topics

    related in Math, legal management who have grasp of the topics. But my course, BSE major in

    history, my MA units in History and all my readings and research are now branded as the one

    that is fake news. I asked to li WHY?

    My professor in Legal Philosophy in his introduction of the subject told as, we start

    Philosophizing when we are at awe, when we question. The movie and his introduction made me

    philosophizing, lover of wisdom, pursuer of wisdom, a seeker. So I asked, Li Why..

    I came to watch a movie, but witnessed an art like an empty room were a sculpture atop a

    pedestal, that is where Liway is, the enchantress.
