Holding the fort: The spirit of the barricades lives on
By ARNETH ASIDDAO
Fifty years ago under the Marcos regime, truckloads of police, military and Metrocom troops stormed the barricades UP students built in solidarity with striking jeepney workers in what was called the “Diliman Commune.” Guns were fired, lives were endangered and rights were trampled upon.
But the communards always consolidated their lines and went back to their post after every chase and dispersal, carrying with them logs, branches, chairs and tables to replace what had been destroyed. And even after the barricade was dismantled, the student movement didn’t dissipate. Just as it didn’t appear out of thin air.
