In today's reading, we're going to learn about the situation in the Philippines before former President and dictator Ferdinand Marcos imposed Martial Law in the Philippines in September 1972.

The Conjugal Dictatorship by Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos by Primitivo Mijares is available at Ateneo Press website and select bookstores.
