The Marcos years and martial law as a novel of multiple characters, multiple actions, multiple settings, multiple themes.

The Marcos years and martial law is not a kind of sudden fiction that can be compressed in a 2-3 pages of narrative, with few scenes, characters, action and a single theme.

EDSA1 is not what the Yellow Army-Aquino Oligarchy Media try to portray as glorifying achievement of the Aquinos--father, the talkative politician Benigno Aquino, Jr. and her wife Corazon and son Benigno III. Cory was not even at EDSA when the 2-day so-called Bloodless Revolution took place--she was in Cebu. So why was she proclaimed as icon of democracy?

Benigno, Jr. ,Benigno III and Corazon were creations of this media--the paid hacks promoted shamelessly that Aquino, Jr. is a hero, when, in fact and in truth, he was a traitor to this country as was his father before him who collaborated with the Japanese Imperial Forces in World War II.

With the above cold bloody facts as part of Philippine history and the Marcos-martial law narrative, it would be unfair if we only have two contending forces in this sudden fiction--Marcos as the antagonist and the father-mother-son as the heroes, defenders and protectors of the oppressed Filipinos. The Aquinos leading the  entire Filipino nation against the evil Ferdinand Marcos?

The Marcos years and martial is a long, long narrative of heroes and anti-heroes, traitors like Juan Ponce Enrile, Fidel Ramos, Gregorio Honasan, the Aquinos and the paid hacks of the Yellow Media.

Shall we make use of hyperbole and other tools of fiction to exaggerate the pain and suffering of the victims, who have been paid, at least some of them, for their "heroic" roles in opposing Marcos and his martial law whose administrators and enforcers were the so-called living heroes of Edsa 1? By the way, why was Corazon Aquino not in Edsa during the two-day February 1986 that toppled Ferdinand Marcos?

The false dichotomy reflects egoistic delusions of individuals that don't believe in possibilities and transformations the way Saul, the number one persecutor of Jesus Christ, underwent when he saw the light on his way to Damascus.
