ADVERTISEMENTRosales, holding a framed copy of her 1976 mugshot, challenged Enrile’s assertion that no one was arrested during martial law “simply because he criticized President Marcos.”“[Enrile and I] were discussing the passage of Republic Act [No.] 10368,” said Rosales, a former party-list representative, referring to the law that provides reparations to martial law victims that Enrile himself had signed as Senate President. Ocampo was imprisoned for over nine years, and Saguisag was detained simply for calling Marcos a “supersubversive” in open court. The four martial law survivors overturned Enrile’s statement that critics of Marcos were merely “inconvenienced,” recounting stories of brutal torture at the hands of the military. Enrile unfortunately does not seem to know when to take the right side of history,” Rosales said.
