To see a gathering of literature produced during martial law as no more than dormant literature for picking up, or not, is to miss the point to looking back. As we speak, a Strongman rises again. To look back is to move forward with fewer mistakes, and the literature has already been written to get us there.
– Jo-Ann Q. Maglipon, writer
This compilation is a testament to the courage and outrage of the writers who dared, defied, and exposed, through the written word, the excesses of the fourteen-year-long dictatorial rule (1972–1986) of Ferdinand E. Marcos . . . a resolve so that history does not repeat itself, get rewritten or revised, so that NEVER AGAIN will tyranny subdue this nation, so that NEVER AGAIN will voices be silenced, so that NEVER AGAIN will the hand that writes be stilled.
– from the Preface by Ma. Ceres P. Doyo, journalist
We witnessed The Fall and survived that Dark Age. As we look back to that era now, we can say that we stared at the dark heart of power and tried our best to shine a light, no matter how faint or how fleeting. This book reminds us of those flashes of light.
– from the Foreword by Sheila S. Coronel, Dean of Academic Affairs, Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University
