The past spoken of, however, is no ordinary past, but the most trying of times in our national postwar history. This book speaks about martial law, not from the standpoint of the dietatorship and neither from that of historians who study it, but from the perspective of Filipinos who challenged the denial of their rights and paid the price for their love of freedom and of our people. These women and men, from all walks of life, of different ages, and from different parts of the country shared a singular purpose: to assert their liberties in the face of a regime that unlawfully arrested and tortured Filipinos it perceived as enemies, causing some of them to disappear from the face of the earth, never to be found.shared a singular purpose: to assert their liberties in the face of a regime that unlawfully arrested an tortured Filipinos it perceived as enemies, causing some of them to disappear from the face of the never to be found. The stories of these valiant Filipinos provide only a glimpse of our recent past, but an important ai necessary one. We need to understand martial law from the standpoint of the actors themselves.
