Despite the injustices during that era, Filipinos fail to realize the concealed lesson they have learned whenever this period is commemorated-even if the dictatorship took many lives and harassed innocent people, it was able to awaken the dying nationalism of Filipinos and was able to revive our aspirations for change and reform.
The Faculty of Arts and Letters played an important role in spearheading the clamor for freedom and independence in the Thomasian community. Armed with its idealistic thinking and liberal ideologies, the Faculty succeeded in leading the Thomasian’s yearning for change and reform.
In line with this, the Flame decided to release a special issue that looks back to the events that took place during martial rule in the eyes of Artlets individuals who were active in opposing the dictatorship that time.
We are hoping that our generation will continue the Artlets tradition of upholding liberalism and excellence in all of our endeavors by remaining vigilant in keeping the flame of freedom burning.

Editor's Note JENNIFER M.ORILLAZA
THE DECLARATION of Marti al Law in the country has proven two things that are discernible to each and every Filipino—first is the fact that our race upholds freedom and independence more than anything else, and second is the reality that Filipinos unite and fight as one against freedom suppressors.
Even if 39 years have already passed, the ”ghost” of the dictatorial rule remains clear and vivid to the memories of the Filipino people.
The era was marked by extra-judicial killings, human rights violations, and abduction of opposition members who fought hard for the nation’s independence.
