MACROVIEW: Mr. Cesar Virata was one of the brilliant minds hired by Marcos (who had a legal brilliant mind) to make his martial law regime work and live for many years. And because Cesar Virata is not only a great economist but also a wiser man now, I suggest that he stops the UP Economics Dean’s insensitive move to Philippine historical events. It is really adding insult to injury to the seat of student protest/power against the excesses of Martial Law; and to the ordinary fallen student heroes of UP in the 1970s of the 20th Century. You might as well name the UP Law School, The Ferdinand E. Marcos Law School. ----------------------------------------------------------- “……. SFX of a Noise Barrage. Chair Angel: Who are with you, Edjop? Edjop: Some friends and others I don’t know. Clobbered to death or shot at by the police: The four student martyrs of the First Quarter Storm… Then, that’s Purification Pedro. She was only 28, a UP graduate when she was arrested. She was accused of being an NPA. They shot her. After bringing her to the hospital, and she recuperated; they gangraped her and hanged her by the neck with her brassiere. That one there is Teotimo Tontiado, he was only 17, a student; That is Ariel Roberto Roce, a high school scholar. Crisanto Lomokso,18; Crispin Villaflor,20; All tortured and killed. That is Ferdinand Oaing. Richard Escarta, Liza Balando, Benjie Jallores. Over there is Liliosa Hilao, beside her, Lorena Barros. That is Nick Solana, and that…Eman Lacaba, the poet of the revolution…” From Country In Search of a Hero /Bayang Pinagtaksilan ng Panahon, a 3 Act Play by MaLou Jacob
