Exact time of broadcast edit

Hi. Not to be nitpicky, but there's been a lot of reverting on the question of exactly what time the Martial Law announcement broadcast took place. The source currently cited says 7:15 PM on September 23, but an anon keeps changing it to 7:17 PM. Given the 7:17 PM is uncited, I would normally argue against it. But the problem is, I think I remember reading it somewhere before - except I'm not sure where. (I also remember reading somewhere that it was 7:19 PM.) I know it all seems minor, but some clarity would be nice so we can stop with the reverts already. Someone wanna help? Thanks! - Chieharumachi (talk) 08:01, 30 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Does not read like NPOV edit

I am noticing a lot of loaded terms - off the top of my head I saw 'crony' a lot, and a reference to 'the administration chasing [peasants] from their land'. While this is a topic I am only just learning about, and I dont have a ton of editing experience or explicit familiarity with the ins and outs of wikipedias rules, the tone of the majority of this article does not fit what I would describe as a neutral point of view.

@Cjarbo2: Hello! Thanks for pointing it out. Now that you mentioned it, the word "crony" is used twice. It didn't dawn on me until you pointed out that it is a loaded word as I personally thought that it's just a political jargon used for the cooperators of former president Marcos during the martial law. Should there be a label that it's Philippine English that is used in this article? That's up for another discussion though. Thanks!—Allenjambalaya (talk) 08:16, 17 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
