"When we of this generation go, our memories should not leave the world with us. No, we must never forget."
- from "Lest We Forget", an essay by Roberto Verzola PSHS Batch 1969, in "Not On Our Watch: Martial Law Really Happened. We Were There."
Members of the PSHS community, alumni and teachers, have contributed to the efforts of documenting a crucial part of Philippine history.
We proudly support these books, articles and blogs that will always help us remember, while continuing to contribute to social justice in various forms.
Books will be on display and will available for sale after the "Pagpugay at Pahingalay" ceremony on September 1, 2012.
When Agham Road Lead Elswhere
"The PSHS should in fact consider setting up a student volunteer corps to help in such efforts. After all, “science” does not simply refer to the natural sciences but also to the social sciences. Scientists and scholars cannot and must not insulate themselves from ground-level reality as experienced by the masses, however ugly it may be.
This much, I think, was accepted by our generation of PSHS scholars as one of the legacies of the First Quarter Storm. This much, I think, we owe to activist martyrs like Nick Lansang and Francis Sontillano whose lives were touched by those same communities now being condemned as criminals’ dens."
from "When Agham Road Lead Elsewhere" by Pio Verzola Jr., in his "Pathless Travels" blog
