Summary: This diary was written in the hope that, as Polybius had noted that at an earlier period, we might learn from the experience-a term, Oscar Wilde says, we like to use for our past mistakes. Now that the long night of repression is but a nightmare, might not the new generation of Filipinos demand that we confront the problem of national guilt for which a cowed, confused and disoriented older generation was responsible?
