TextPublication details: Manila : Benigno Aquino Jr. Foundationm, c1985.Description: 390 p.: ill. 21 cmSubject(s): Summary: In Ninoy Aquinos exposes ominous indeed and prophetic now sound was there an exact, as it turned out, prognosis of what Mr. Marcos was up to. Unfortunately, such Philippines were chiefly enjoyed for their titillation. The danger signals Ninoy defined excited thrills rather than concern and he was cheered for being so bold an opposi tionist, so shrewd a fiscalizer, when he should have disquieted as a stormy petrel voicing omens of impending ill. After the blow had fallen on the nation, Ninoy's words would be recalled with a pang no longer as delicious scandalmongering but as an oracle's auguries that, alas went unheeded.The tragedy was that the people failed to realize that his onslaughts were directed against a very imminent and actual danger. Thrilling entertainment was all they saw in the series of expo ses that should have affrighted as omens of the petrel.
