b'Hi LagimFam!

I am finally back and with me is this season\'s first instalment of The Martial Law Series.

In this episode, I delve into a somber chapter of Philippine history as we explore the Escalante Massacre of 1985. Join me as I give a brief history of sugar and as I uncover the events leading up to that fateful day in the town of Escalante, Negros Occidental, and the tragic consequences that unfolded. I briefly discuss the political climate of the time, the plight of sugar workers and activists, and the brutal crackdown on their peaceful protest. I also look into what happened to the perpetrators of this horrible crime after 1985.

Thank you for being so patient with me, LagimFam. I have read all the comments and DMs and it is truly heartwarming to hear that you are eagerly awaiting the return of Lagim to the podcast airwaves, so to speak.

I hope you find this episode interesting. Make sure to share it far and wide if you did :-)
