ENDEAVOR
At around 10 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 22, 1972, I joined a big crowd gathered at the steps of Palma Hall, more popularly known then as the building of the College of Arts and Sciences (AS) in the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman campus. Wearing a barong with rolled up sleeves, Senator Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino warned the students about the scenario for the imminent declaration of martial law.
The day before, a huge crowd, estimated at 50,000, attended a rally in Plaza Miranda led by the Movement of Concerned Citizens for Civil Liberties (MCCL) headed by Senator Jose ‘Pepe’ Diokno. Shortly after I arrived home past midnight on Sept. 23, I was brought to Camp Crame by officers of the Philippine Constabulary Metropolitan Command (PC Metrocom), where I was detained for 47 days until I was released on Nov. 9, 1972.
Fast forward to June 11, 2016, at Fort Magsaysay, Laur, Nueva Ecija.
