This is a book worth reading for those interested in Macliing Dulag, his activism against the Chico Dam Project, and his impact on Cordillera social struggles.
It was written by Ma. Ceres P. Doyo, a journalist who covered the aftermath of Dulag's assassination by state forces in 1980. Doyo wrote an investigative article about Dulag's death which wasn't a good look for the Marcos Sr. regime. She was chastised and even interrogated by the military authorities.
This book is an expanded version of the article Doyo wrote in 1980. It was published by the University of the Philippines Press. So if you are interested in getting a copy, check out the UP Press website.
In the book's "Author's Note", Doyo writes: "This book is a way to remind Filipinos and those in foreign lands who supported his cause about the essence of his struggle and the price of triumph. The younger generation, particularly those in the Cordillera, needs models like Macliing."
If you visit the Bantayog ng mga Bayani in Quezon City, among the hundreds of names etched on the granite Wall of Remembrance is that of Macliing Dulag.
