- Description:
- The issue recounts a plan of escape for 30 political prisoners from jail, void of any bloodshed or gunfire. These politicians joined the ranks of the anti-fascist movements. More victories were garnered by the New People's Army in their encounters with the dictatorship, as enumerated in the issue. The growing masses against the administration have caused targeting on the clergy through arrests, deportation, and seizing of media operations. Members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines have also come together in opposition towards the Marcos regime, starting revolts within their rankings. Insider information by the AFP provided an outline of requirements to overthrow Marcos by amassing a certain amount of political leaders in their ranks. They also debunk multiple programs by the Marcos administration that has been filtered by local media. However, international media has covered the issue, acknowledging that the regime serves not anymore as a democracy but as a dictatorship. The issue also covers the relieving of military powers like Colonel Enrique Zobel, who is feared to potentially rally the masses against Marcos given the latter's economic power and popularity.
