Martial Law in the Philippines:     

                    My Story           

"Many people have written and will continue to write about the infamous martial law years from 1972 to 1986, when the freedoms of every Filipino except for the powers that be were curtailed, and those who dared defy the rules of the dictator were arrested, detained, and in many instances, summarily executed. But not many can tell the story of martial law with the passion of Nene Pimentel, who was one of its more prominent and battle scarred opponents." - President Cory Aquino

"The man is the story. The story is the man. He lives with faith, he stands by his principles, he tells his story with spirit and in truth."
- Archbishop Oscar Cruz (Pangasinan)

"Nene's book recalls in the most vivid terms the horrors of that period, 1972-1986, when Filipino inhumanity towards Filipino broke all records before and since. Nene writes movingly about it, not only because he witnessed it but also because he endured it as few of its victims did." - Senator Joker Arroyo
