Due to circumstances beyond our control, our book will only be available in National Book Store this Friday. National told me today they were unable to bring our books over to select Metro Manila branches.

National has assured me, though, that by Friday the Student Edition of Marcos Martial Law: Never Again will be in some of their branches. They will be sending me which are these branches as soon as the books actually arrive in their outlets.

I would like to personally apologize to those who actually went to National Book Store and found that the books were not yet there.

Please rest assured they will be in select branches by Friday.

I will know by tomorrow Thursday which are these branches.

Meanwhile, I would like to post this reaction of Matthew Lopez while reading the book:

Matthew Lopez posted this on Twitter today, May 25, 2015

I thanked him for his post. He tweeted back:

I apologized to him that a section of the book made him throw up. I told him I had to hew close to the facts.

And he wrote back and said:

Wow. This is another mind conditioning propaganda that targets the Marcoses. This is how important and special the Marcoses are in the Philippine society. Thanks to martial law and the unfortunate outcomes. Marcoses will remain as steadfast and unsinkable as the history itself. The more mind-conditioning propagandas, the stronger the Marcoses they will become as they are edges sharpened through hard times.

We do have differences and that make us unique yet I always know, we do have the same way of cooking should I have a chance the same chances you have experienced along your way in your craft. That’s a journalism-of-a-kind everybody I’m sure love doing it when have a chance in life. For what is life and its taste if we should let it pass and regret it in our way. Thank you Ms. Raisa.

You’re welcome, Regel.

But how can you love a family that nearly destroyed our country?

It’s just a matter of self-conviction on how we convinced ourselves about the remains of martial law and how the late President Marcos responded the needs of time. Both of us knew how politics played its pivotal role in moving the society to a dynamic motion wherein dancing to its tune could either be fatal or a dead-end beneficial, and defying it could be a history of uncertainty. It wasn’t the family per se that almost destroyed the country, for the country cannot be destroyed. It can only be changed. Rather, it was the society where we are part of… Read more »
