Forty Years Ago
Danilo Luis M. Mariano
Forty years ago, on the 30th of March 1973, plainclothes operatives of the Philippine Constabulary (PC) grabbed me from my parents’ house at Heroes Hills, Quezon City. In the middle of the night, they forced me into the back of an unmarked Toyota Land Cruiser. I was made to sit in front of a burly mestizo whom I would later learn was a sergeant in the PC, the military precursor of the Philippine National Police.
Chomping on a siopao, the mestizo flashed a smile. He took a paper bag beside him, and offered me its contents. I took out a bun and tried to look cool by biting into it; try as I might though I couldn't swallow even a morsel because my salivary glands had shut down. Sensing my discomfort, he said to me in a friendly enough tone: "Kain lang nang kain, bata." Then, he added: "Tutal, isusuka mo naman 'yan mayamaya." To this day, I will only most reluctantly put a Chinese-style steamed bun in my mouth.
Ferdinand E. Marcos had placed the entire Philippines under martial law just six months earlier and the authorities had enforced a midnight to dawn curfew. But people were so fearful of what the regime’s mouthpieces would eventually call "constitutional authoritarianism" that they preferred to remain inside the security of their homes, such as it was, as soon as darkness fell. The drive to the PC headquarters at Camp Crame must have taken no more than a quarter of an hour, but it seemed much, much longer than 15 minutes in my 20-year-old mind, which was by then gripped by paralyzing fear.
The Land Cruiser stopped at the driveway of a two-story building deep within the bowels of Crame; I would later be told that it housed the innocuous sounding 5th Constabulary Security Unit (CSU). I would soon discover that the 5th CSU deserved every bit of its notoriety as one of the most brutal units of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, or AFP. As I got off the Toyota 4x4, I realized that there had been other vehicles similarly carrying plainclothesmen who had evidently been involved in the operation to get me.
I was escorted through the main corridor and made to enter the office of Major Miguel Aure, who sat expressionless behind his desk. He gave me the once over, looking at me from the top of my then long-haired head to the bottom of my scruffy sneakers. Then he glanced at the sofa to one side of his table where a man slightly older than me was sitting. "Kilala mo ba 'yan?" Aure asked. Of course, I knew the guy; we called him "Ketchup." When I feigned ignorance, the Major laughed. So did the other officers and enlisted personnel inside his office. So did Ketchup.
Ketchup, I eventually learned, was a DPA, a deep-penetration agent, who had wormed his way inside the movement, gathering information and reporting to his handlers in the 5th CSU. He had done such a thorough job that in the round-up of alleged communist ACPs, or Armed City Partisans, which included me, only a handful managed to slip through the dragnet. It was further information on those slippery comrades that Aure and his team had been working on.
By the time they arrested me, however, they seemed to have already gathered enough intelligence for a glowing post-operations report to their masters in Malacañang. After the usual processing where I had my mug shots, fingerprints and personal information taken, one officer seemed to have taken a disliking to me. He held me by my hippie tresses, shoved me into a foul-smelling toilet and dunked me headlong into a crapper. He was sunburnt and wiry, spoke with the guttural accent of Northern Luzon. He was Rodolfo Aguinaldo, then a PC lieutenant, a fresh graduate of the Philippine Military Academy, Class of 1971. What I suffered in his hands was nothing compared to what he did to countless other young men and women in his fervent desire to advance his military career throughout the 14 years of martial law. He eventually rose to the rank of colonel; and after the dictatorship was dismantled in 1986 he managed to make a name for himself in local politics, rising to the post of governor of Cagayan province. It was while he was running for a seat in Congress that the communist-led NPA, or New People's Army, finally caught up with him and exacted what it called "revolutionary justice" on him, from the business end of a semi-automatic pistol. Several other torturers would meet a similar end.
Back to March 30, 1973. After my initiation to what turned out be standard operating procedure at the 5th CSU, I was allowed to clean myself up as best I could from a faucet where water flowed sporadically. I was then brought to the back of the building and placed inside a holding cell that had been designed for two inmates. In fact, several other comrades of mine were already there. In the next two weeks that cell would become even more congested.
By the time Aure and his men were through with their roundup, there were about two dozen or so of us alleged ACPs in custody; thankfully, they did not jam all of us into that tiny cell. The names of those I remember include, Mon Veluz, a dropout from the University of Diliman at Diliman who was accused of being a ranking member of the Manila-Rizal committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines, or CPP, and organizer of the ACP as the urban component of the NPA; Tony Robles, a combat judo black belter and graduate of the Philippine College of Criminology who had once dreamed of joining the Manila Police Department just like his father; Joey Papa, a student of the Philippine College of Commerce (now the Polytechnic University of the Philippines) who had formed youth groups in Balut, Tondo; Arno Sanidad, a former college councilor at UP Manila and son of an Ilocos Sur congressman; Bobi Tiglao, an Ateneo de Manila student who allegedly headed the Manila-Rizal committee of the CPP; Raquel Edralin, a UP Diliman student, niece of Marcos and wife of Tiglao; Boyet Navarro, a Torres High School student and son of Brig. Gen. Manuel Navarro, then PC chief in Bicol; Osong Garcia, an employee of a pest control company; Dolphy Laurente, a Divisoria toughie, Sigue-Sigue Sputnik gang boss and ex-convict; and Val (whose surname I forget) a tricycle driver in Project 2 who was barely out of puberty.
For two weeks, we were all subjected to sleep deprivation and kept incommunicado. Relatives and friends who were brave enough to look for us, including Tess, my wife of barely two years, were cruelly given the run-around when they asked for our whereabouts at Camp Crame. We were regularly given the proverbial third degree, not so much to extract information but just for the heck of it. Aguinaldo was a particularly enthusiastic torturer although I must say that some of his men seemed uncomfortable with the indignities we were treated to—but they did not have the nerve to do anything about it. The strong-willed Raquel had an especially bad time; when she loudly protested our ill-treatment, one 5th CSU officer (Aguinaldo again, I think) banged her head on the wall repeatedly; I suspect that incident led her to develop brain cancer, which eventually caused her demise some years later.
When Aure and his men were finally through with us, we were farmed out to various detention facilities. One group, that included Mon Veluz, Bobi Tiglao and Raquel Edralin, was brought to the Ipil center at Fort Bonifacio. Another was detained at Camp Aguinaldo.
A third group, which included Tony Robles, Osong Garcia, Arno Sanidad and myself, were detained at the stockades in Camp Crame. There, the physical torture finally stopped; nonetheless we spent several months in psychological anguish not knowing what fate awaited us.
My arrest and detention totalled just six months; it was comparatively short. I later learned that my Waray mother and brother, who was close to the group of Alfredo "Bejo" Romualdez, had personally appealed to Imelda Marcos to cut short my confinement. Most of my comrades, however, were not as lucky. Some would spend years behind bars, with no other charge than the catch-all "Violation of Republic Act No. 1700," also known as the Anti-Subversion Law.
Upon our release, we were required to report weekly to the Intelligence Service of the AFP, or ISAFP, at Camp Aguinaldo with a detailed account of our activities over the past seven days. We were not allowed to talk to the press. We could not leave what was then called the "Greater Manila Area" without ISAFP permission. We were not to contact our former comrades. Yeah, right.
Many of us tried to rebuild our lives as best we could, and still somehow managed to maintain our ties to the movement; in various capacities, we continued to support the CPP until it began to show fatal flaws and started to self-destruct. I went back to school, then began a career as a journalist and raised a family. Many of my comrades did the same. Mon Veluz would later join a group of former political prisoners who filed a successful class suit in the United States against Marcos that awarded nearly US$2 billion to some 10,000—later pared down to about 7,500—martial law victims. Arno Sanidad went on to law school and became a human rights lawyer. Bobi Tiglao was kicked out of the Ateneo, like many other radicals, transferred to UP and launched a career in journalism; he, controversially, joined the cabinet of President Gloria M. Arroyo and was later appointed Philippine ambassador to Greece. Boyet Navarro went back to school too and later started a small business. Others went overseas. Some, however, were simply unable to move on. One drank himself to an early grave. Another hopped through a string of relationships. Still others went back underground.
We somehow managed to survive arrest, torture and imprisonment—and that is reason to be grateful, if not to fate, then certainly to Divine Providence. Others were not as privileged.
On this Easter Sunday, may I ask you to join me in prayer, silent or otherwise, for the eternal repose of those who were snatched by the forces of tyranny from 1972 to 1986 in various parts of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao—and were never heard from again. They are the “desaparecidos,” and an organization called Families of Victims of Involuntary Disappearance (FIND) has listed down their names:
