Prelude

The activities for this week are a prelude of many to come.

They are pre-commemoration of events that took place in the past and a reminder why we need to remember them as the years continue. The whole nation will have to bear through the recalling of the painful events of the martial law period, despite historical revisionism that attempts to turn this part of our history into something "golden" where many supposedly benefitted from it. For Cebuanos, especially those who are members of the Press, it's key to reminisce how the media was silenced yet managed to overcome by standing their ground.
