Inside Philippine politics & beyond

My book signing for Marcos Martial Law: Never Again will feature a special talk on Ferdinand Marcos’ War Record

Share:

Hi guys,

Finally, I can announce that I will have a book signing of Marcos Martial Law: Never Again  in National Book Store in Trinoma this Saturday, December 3.

I hope you can come because I persuaded the country’s foremost military historian, Dr. Ricardo T. Jose, to talk on the real “War Record” of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos. This will be during the program that will accompany the book signing. Dr. Jose, who is currently the executive director of the University of the Philippines Third World Studies Program, will share what he has found out in his research, using US and Japanese archives.

Do take a video of his talk and post it on Facebook.

During the short program, you will also get to see up close the most notorious torture device used during Marcos’ Martial Law – the military field telephone converted into an instrument for electrocution, which I wrote about in the book.

The program starts at 1 PM with a brief intro from my publisher, Filipinos for a Better Philippines; short speeches from me and Alan; then a Q and A.

I will be in NBS Trinoma starting at 11:30 A.M. to start signing books up to 12:45. Then I break for the program and resume signing afterward.

I hope to see you there.

  1. Hi Raissa

    Was not able to go to Trinoma last Sat.
    But you have my book – kindly sign and send through Julian or T. Jay in NEU.
    My coach will get from him na lang. Cant wait to start reading this book.

    CONGRATS
    PS. diliman get-together on sat dec10 3pm. hope you can come.

  3. Masarap pa rin ang nutribun,oats at skimmed milk na libreng nakukuha noon ng nga kabataan sa panahon ni Marcos.

    Pero nang dahil lang sa rebelding kilusan na gusto xang patalsikin, nawala lahat yun.

    Sinakyan pa ng mga masasamang tao na ang hangarin ay mapa sa kanila ang kapangyarihan at makamkam ang kayamanan ng bansa.

    Sa iilan,si Marcos ay hindi bayani. Pero para sa akin, sya ay presidente na may tunay na malasakit sa bansa.

    • mukhang nag-speculate ka lang.

      hindi mo ba alam na ayaw kainin ng mga mag-aaral yung nutribun kasi napakapangit ng lasa? Mismo yung US embassy official nagsabi noon. Ang USAID kasi ang nagbabayad para magawa yung nutribun noon.

      kaya pumalpak yung anti-malnutrition program ni Madame.

    • ay na ospital ako noon dahil sa skimmed milk at ang harina na ginamit sa pag gawa ng nutribun ay contaminated. dahil principal noon ang aking nanay ay hindi na nya pinapatupad iyong feeding na yon. instead, iyong home economics teacher namin ay sya mismo ang nagsupervised sa pag luto para sa aming feeding program. vegetables and rice were supplied by the parents. rice para aroz caldo sahog ay buto buto. gulay, ginisang monggo at iilang maliliit na hipon mula sa fishpond ng aming congressman at mayor.

    • For now, if you have any relative in PH, the publisher can deliver the Collectors Edition for free and the softbound edition with a delivery fee depending on where it is to be delivered.

      • At ang masama at pangit na katotohanan ang ayaw malaman ng mga masasamang tao kaya gagawin ang lahat para pigilan na mabunyag.

      • lalabas at lalabas ang katotohanan. kaya sa kapropromote ng katotohanan nagising ang mga damdamin ng mga “brat youths”.

        more power to the millennials!

  6. The ALMIGHTY be with you, Allan, your Editor/staff & everyone rallying for a better PHILIPPINES.

    Chapeau Raissa & Allan!!!!

  7. Raissa:

    Do you know if Dr. Jose will be referring to any documents accessed/recovered/digitized/repatriated by Marie Silva Vallejo’s team from the Philippines Archives Collection at the US National Archives, in Maryland, summer of 2015?

  8. maraming salamat po sa inyo, Ms. Raissa Robles, sa inyong pagsusumikap na maiparating sa ating mga kabataan at sa mga susunod pang mga salin-lahi ang mga tunay na mga pangyayari sa kasaysayan ng ating bansa,… :) batid po natin na ang mga galamay ng rehimeng marcos ay patuloy na gumagawa ng paraan upang malinlang ang ating mga kababayan at mga kabataan, mga susunod pang mga henerasyon sa isang huwad na kasaysayang pilit na nililinis at pinagtatakpan ang mga kasalanan at kahirapang idinulot ng rehimeng marcos sa ating pamayanan. :)

    • resist, resist, resist – as human rights lawyer Rene Saguisag said at the onset of Marcos’ Martial Law.
