Never Again
By Raissa Robles
September 11, 2016
Dear Reader,
Thank you for being interested. This forms part of the context of what I have been writing and why I am wary of those who want to just sweep aside our civil liberties with the promise of peace and order, stability and a comfortable life.
I would appreciate feedback from you. Pls. email [email protected] for this.
We are now working on a digital edition of the book.
We hope you won't mind if we e-mail you as soon as it's available.
Fingers crossed we also hope to be able to come out with a new paperback edition soon. I will announce where it will be available as soon as it is available.
At the moment, the hardbound Collectors Edition - which is in full color - is still available. Although it is on a horrific topic, it is gorgeously beautiful.
This can be ordered and delivered for free anywhere in the Philippines. The extract you are viewing is from the Collectors Edition. If you live outside the Philippines, you can have it delivered to a relative or friend back home. Pls. remember, though, that each Collectors Edition book weights 2.1 kilos.
In the coming days, I will be posting two more extracts. One is how Marcos thoroughly prepared for Martial Law. This is the companion piece to the biography of Marcos. Another extract is about the Woman who Vanished into the Night.
Thanks again,
Raissa

Official Calendar Of The Republic
By Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office
2014
The Official Calendar of the Republic is a project by the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office that features historical events and official observances per calendar day of the year. These events range from birth/death anniversaries of prominent historical figures (e.g., previous presidents/vice-presidents, national artists/scientists, etc.), to dates regarding official proclamations. The book also features essays for every month detailing a specific historic event relevant to that particular month. Given the calendar’s attempt at a daily account of past events that have shaped the Philippine Republic, it is not just a calendar for any single year, but it serves as a general reference that chronicles the development of the Philippine government.
