CEBU, Philippines – Detained twice and tortured during the Martial Law years, retired Cebuano judge Kit Enriquez, 71, still wants the Filipino people to continue the fight for justice.
On September 23, 1972, he recalled he woke up to the news that the late tyrant Ferdinand E. Marcos had declared Martial Law: “Radio, TV, and newspapers were closed except for one, which was the Philippine Daily Express…. At 6 o’clock, Marcos made his speech and said the people should be at home because there was a curfew.”
Upon leaving his father at the hospital, Enriquez noticed that there were people following him. In November 1972, he was captured near Barangay Basak in Cebu City. Later on, Enriquez witnessed the spark of the revolution, seeing groups of people from different walks of life converge at Fuente Osmeña Boulevard to protest against the administration.
