Wether or not perpetuated by the military or by the communist or by whoever, the Marcos era in our place saw a great deal of violence. I can remember the army detachment in front of our house, there was a curfew at 7:00 PM, and armed patrol every morning -- but my family was happy kay na minimize ang kawat sa farm. And yes, my mother was happy kay daghan daw benefits gihatag c macoy sa mga teachers.
It was a good thing that they moved out when I was in Grade 3 (1995). I have not seen violence myself but adults tell stories of what they saw and heard. But mao sd lage... kulba kulba ang mga taw kay violence can happen anytime.
Lahi lahi tag experience. Kamo diri sa city kay "sheltered" kaayo mo. I can hear praises of Marcos, but its unfair to those who suffered under the watch of the military and the ever-possible threat of NPA invasion any time.
Action was taking place where the media was not around.
Adto mo sa bukid ug ask ordinary people.
