The Freeman's Lastimosa
Bisan inosenteng panagsungi sa negosyo di luwas atol sa martial law sa diktadura ni Ferdinand Marcos. Tungod sa koneksiyon sa kakostablehan ug kapolisan (kay PC/INP pa man niadto) sa usa ka negosyante dinhi sa Sugbo, nakugang na lang ang iyang gikalalis nga duha ka negosyante nga mga dinakpan na sila ug gida sa Kampo Sotero Cabahug (karon headquarters sa Cebu City Police Office). Giingnan sila sa imbestigador nga gidakop sila pinasikad sa Arrest, Search and Seizure Order (ASSO). Pasabot nga wa pay kaso nga napasaka batok nila sa korte, gani way klaro unsay ilang kaso, apan di sila makapiyansa ug padayong matanggong hangtod nga mahusay ang ilang problema. Ang biktima nga mga politiko nga nakalingkawas sa kalbaryo sa ASSO nakaasoy sa pait nilang kasinatian ug napasidunggan nang mga bayani sa pakigbisog sa ngiob nga katuigan sa diktadura. Apan ang ASSO mahimong nakabiktima sab sa mas daghang kasarangang sibilyan. Nga mahimong wa makasugakod sa pagpanghasi ug wa na igkita. Ug busa mahimong hingpit nga malubong sa kalimot ang masulub-on nilang mga sugilanon. [kinatibuk-ang lindog]

"O SUSANA” is the title of a book launched last Friday at the Ateneo de Davao University, the book’s publisher. It contains 45 stories of 34 authors who opposed Martial Law in varying ways while working for civic and religious organizations that held office in the now defunct Susana Building in Acacia, Davao City. Hence, the title. It is our way (I wrote one of the stories) of helping the youth of today from being swayed into thinking Martial Law was good to the Philippines, our way of joining the conversation on Bongbong Marcos’s remorseless attempt to restore the Marcos dynasty into power using money that he arrogantly denies was stolen from the Filipino people. [full text]

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky Verily, verily I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. John xii,24 Preface I N STARTING out on the life of my hero, Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov, I feel somewhat at a loss. By this I mean that, although I refer to Alexei (Alyosha) as my hero, I am well aware that he is by no means a great man, and this leads me to anticipate such obvious questions as: “What is so remarkable about your Alexei Karamazov that you should choose him as your hero? What exactly did he accomplish? Who has heard of him and what is he famous for? And why should I, the reader, spend time learning the facts of his life?” The last question is the fateful one because all I can answer is: “You may find that out for yourself from the novel.” But what if they read the novel and are still unconvinced that my Alexei is a remarkable man? I say this because I sadly anticip...
