“1978. Sampung taong gulang ako nang utusan ako ng Tatay kong ihatid ang ilang sulat sa piniling mga kapitbahay.

Maikli ang mensahe: ang naalala ko ay ang salitang LABAN at tagubiling may noise barrage sa isang takdang petsa, ika-8 ng gabi. Magdala raw ng mga pang-ingay at lumabas ng bahay.

Sa takdang araw, inaya na kami ng Tatay, dala nila ng Nanay at kuya ko ang mga kawali, kaldero at sandok namin. Malakas na tumatawag ang Tatay ko sa mga kapitbahay na lumabas na at sa isang iglap ay masayang magkakasama kami sa kahabaan ng Old Sta. Mesa St. at tinatambol ang mga kawali at malalaking kaldero.

Lumabas din ang mga taga-Teresa St. at nagsunog ng gulong habang sumisigaw ang lahat ng “laban, laban” at nakataas ang mga kamay sa letrang L.

Iyon ay sandali. Ngunit matagal na sandali ng katapangan at pagkakaisa na mariing kumintal sa aking pagkatao.

Dalawang taon matapos iyon ay mawawalay ang aming ama sa amin dahil kabilang sya sa diaspora ng mga Pilipino patungong Gitnang Silangan.

Hindi maalwan ang pamumuhay sa ilalim ng administrasyon ni Ferdinand Marcos. Lumilipad ang implasyon mula 1971 (21.4%), nuong 1974 (34.2%), at nuong 1984 ay nasa 50.3%.

Hindi na-subsidyuhan ng pamahalaan ang malalaking input na hinihingi ng Masagana 99. Maraming magsasaka ang itinulak sa kalunsuran, subalit ang tunay na halaga ng sahod ay bumaba nang 24% sa gitna ng 70s. Sa panahong ito pa lamang ay 40% na ang nasa ilalim ng linya ng kahirapan.

Ipinagbawal ang welga, ang pananggol ng mga manggagawa sa sariling kapakanan.

Wala ang Tatay nang tumanggap ako ng medalya sa pagtatapos ng elementarya nuong 1980. Nasa ikalawang taon naman sa UP ang kuya ko at nag-uuwi ng Philippine Collegian na lalong nagmulat sa aking mga mata sa pulitika.
