Martial Law in Cebu is a collection of essays that feature first-hand accounts of Cebuanos who were arrested, detained, harassed, and/or tortured by uniformed personnel who implemented the harsh measures of Ferdinand E. Marcos’ Martial Law. From National Artist for Literature Resil Mojares to retired judge Meinrado Paredes, the book offers a glimpse from various sectors in Cebu (e.g. the civil society, legal community, the academe, the press, the religious community, and others) that contended with the dictatorship.
