Last night in my brief acceptance speech for Marcos Martial Law: Never Again winning the National Book Awards, I said:
We – the author, the editor Alan Robles, the publisher Filipinos for a Better Philippines represented by Attorney Braulio Tansinsin and Attorney Boogie Rodrigo, son of the late Senator Soc Rodrigo – are deeply grateful for this award especially because it is an award for NON-FICTION PROSE in English.
