another interesting tidbit of those times...‘Best part of martial law was its end’Cebu Daily News
Sunday, September 22nd, 2013
THE best and most unforgettable part of Martial Law, according to former Cebu City congressman Antonio Cuenco, was the way it ended with the February 1986 People Power Uprising.
“When we were informed that there was a revolution about to happen in Manila, we immediately secured Cory (the late president Corazon Aquino) and her daughter Kris who were both in Cebu at the time,†he told Cebu Daily News.
About a week after the Feb. 7 snap elections, the widow of the slain senator Benigno Aquino Jr. called up Cuenco, then an assemblyman in the Batasan Pambansa, to organize an indignation rally in Fuente Osmeña on Feb. 22, 1986.
