September 2l, l972
From InterAksyon
Forty years ago, after graduation, I worked for a bank in Port Area. At the night of Sept 20, 1972I heard, the convoy/car of now Senate President JPE was ambushed at Vito Cruz. It was a Friday.
The following day, there was no radio nor TV. I heard Martial Law was declared.
In 1972 or during that time: I was witness to Plaza Miranda bombing, the Mendiola protests, the protests at the Congress and the mayhem that followed.; the barricades along Katipunan, the SJ students struggle, news of clamp down on activitists at AdeMU, classmates being shadowed by military agents.
2012. Elsewhere in the internet:
Sen. Bong2 Marcos said that we were better off in Martial Law than now. Young Marcos defends Martial Law
Many those surveyed shared the same views.
But many abuse/torture during the Martial Law have yet to be documented. 10, 000 more to go.
Some notes:
l. "Are you a virgin"
2. "Needles under the nails..."
3. "Look into my eyes, and I will give you hell...
4. "Unbearable torture drove my brother to try to drown himself...."
Now many say JPE was the architect of ML, how come he is up there when there are so many anti vs. ML
