Into the breach
By Luis V. Teodoro
The martial law period haunts us still. Its ghosts are not only threatening Leyte’s Tacloban City in the form of the demand of both the local government and the business community that President Benigno Aquino III declare martial law there, and the latter’s alleged openness to that possibility. They’re there as well in the fact that a family that has been closely identified with Ferdinand Marcos and the martial law period, the Romualdezes, are not only in control of almost the whole province; they have not made much of a difference in the tragedy that is now Leyte either.
