This book simply chronicles the struggle of the Philippine press to function properly again as a vehicle of the free flow of information, opinion and criticism. This function was suddenly snatched away from the Filipino journalists on Sept. 21, 1972--the day Ferdinand E. Marcos, who was then serving his second and final term as constitutional president, imposed martial law. This same function was supposed to have been restored when Mr. Marcos lifted martial law on Jan. 17, 1981. At least, he and his government functionaries like to say so, despite the presence of a Marcos-created decree that empowers him close down any form of media if he deems it necessary. Through some unpopular electoral processes, he has retained the presidency, with a possible re-election (the opposition calls it perpetual of power) --From the introduction
