#NeverAgain: A Working List of Martial Law Literature

If there's one thing we learned from this 2016 elections, it is that the ills of Martial Law have been lost on an alarming number of Filipinos - both young and old. Proof is the fact that Bongbong Marcos is flirting with a potential Vice Presidency that, as of this writing, Leni Robredo is putting up a good fight, even as the margins are very small and could change anytime. We are confident that #LeniTheRealVP, but we have to start educating ourselves, our fellowman, for the threat of a Marcos comeback to the country's top positions continue to be real as long as the Marcoses are alive and are reproducing (read: Sandro Marcos).
