The EDSA Revolution had been crushed, compliments of the hardliners of the Marcos regime. Machine gun fire swept the ranks, driving the masterminds of the coup to fight back. The gunners were indiscriminate in their firing; teachers, churchmen, students, and professionals alike were gunned down before the loyalists.
Total casualty counts were finally tallied two weeks after; at 1200 dead, the death toll left by the EDSA Massacre would only be exceeded three years after, on June 4th, 1989...
The immediate aftermath led to the sowing of seeds; seeds of rebellion that would bear fruit the following year.
The Codex Philippinensis is a maintenance thread dedicated to worldbuilding information and history behind the three successor states to the Republic of the Philippines that were formed after the Philippine Civil War of 1988, videlicet, New Visayan Islands, Bagong Luzon, and Bangsamoro Rojo. That I, NVI, am using this specific puppet as OP is deliberate; one cannot speak of the three nations without taking a look at this outcome of alternate history. Who knows what might have happened had Marcos not have been 86'd in '86? We may not really know, but some of us might be able to make a few good guesses.
New Visayan Islands
OP of thread as: Bagong Luzon
