The exhibit at the Administration Building Atrium |
In the UP Mindanao, students installed "Never Again" and "Never Forget" streamers on the Administration Building façade. They also created an exhibit showing news articles from that period and sketch portraits of persons who disappeared during the same period.

Leaflets containing socio-economic data and political events from the Martial Law period were distributed to correct the perceived efforts for historical revisionism in the present time.
