Remembering Filipinos who fought against martial law

Other friends and colleagues from that era who are honored at the Bantayog include Jessica Sales, Carlos Tayag, and William Vincent Begg.

Jessica Sales was elected student government president; then she served as school paper editor at Centro Escolar University from which she graduated with honors. She then taught at the University of the Philippines Manila and Los Baños. She disappeared on 30 July 1977 after she was known to have been arrested with five others, namely Gerardo Faustino, Rizalina Ilagan, Bong Sison, Ramon Jasul and Cristina Catalla. Neither the police nor the military have verified their arrest.

Carlos ‘Caloy’ Tayag was on the last phase of his studies toward becoming a Benedictine priest when he opted to do a sabbatical, enrolling for a master’s degree in literature in UP. He joined the Student Christian Movement, later renamed as Kilusang Kristiyano ng Kabataang Pilipino, and went underground when martial law was declared. His disappearance was reported in August 1976.

Also recorded in Martyrs and Heroes is the story of Bicol-born Billy Begg who renounced his American citizenship when he turned 21 in 1971. He took up philosophy at the Ateneo de Manila University in preparation for the priesthood. He was arrested in 1972; upon release, he enrolled at UP to take up history but chose to join the underground movement in 1974.

Visitors to the Bantayog museum would see a standee of then Senator Jose Diokno before the picture of the crowd at Plaza Miranda in Quiapo as he spoke at a rally led by the UP-Based Movement of Concerned Citizens for Civil Liberties a few hours before martial law was set into motion on the evening of Friday, 22 September 1972. Other features are the replica of a detention cell, no bigger than three square meters, in which church worker Hilda Narciso and 20 others were held.

Martial Law was intended for insurgency of the terrorist NPA & delequent individual. Deaths from Matial Law was either violators or NPA victims. Ask your law abiding lolo &lola If We have SOCIAL MEDIA during the time of FEM: NO LIES. NO BIAS MEDIA NO NPA. NO EDSA REVOLUTION.

CPP-NPAs are honored. 😁
