Mga Daso: Stories of Martial Law in Bikol, Edited by Soliman M. Santos Jr., Paz Verdades M. Santos a
In stock
Dasô: fire and light from the native Bikol torch. And the body holding it up to illuminate the dark. This is the essence of these personal memories about martial law. Bikolnon of all ages and from diverse places and pursuits remember how it was and how it should never be again. We who were there, or not, are taken to that time in history.
So, let us be there! Be enlightened and moved, anguished and inspired, and ever conscious of these stories about living and dying. Marvel at the courage and enduring commitment to justice, truth, and love. Because in the struggle for holding up the light and keeping it burning for country, there is always love.
Dasô: noun. But it has to become more than noun, as it was with those that lit up then. It has to be an action verb. Magdasô, makidasô kita let us light, let us join in this lighting and relighting. It is the only way to see. It is the only way to restore vision amidst the darkness of misinformation and disinformation. The only way to reignite the true and fiery love for nation and compatriot—ang tunay asin naglalaad-laad na pagpadaba sa banwaan asin kabanwa.
