Stepping on Poop.: We must never forget.

1/08/2004

We must never forget.

Millete Caparas, 44, former KM member and editor, remembers what it was like:

"Many of my friends were no longer found, some of them disappeared, some were murdered, and everybody was silent.''

"Several days after martial law was declared, we were arrested. The word used then was 'invited.' All the student leaders and campus writers were detained. I stayed inside the provincial PC (Philippine Constabulary) command for five days. We found out that some of our classmates and peers were from the military. They were Deep Penetration Agents. We called them pigs.

''I belonged to the Kabataang Makabayan then and we had various socio-political organizations. We were surprised that some of the people who were outspoken were military DPAs.

''Many of my friends were no longer found, some of them disappeared, some were murdered, and everybody was silent.

''Pero kung ngayon mangyayari yon, hindi na ako bata, willing na ako to sacrifice and fight for that na hindi na dapat mangyari ang martial law. It's something you would not want to happen anymore.''
