Paoay to Hawaii - What happened? : Marcos

-

 "Your dad departing from Malacañang. Cory did not know anything about that event. She called Bosworth, and then I remember Cory shouted over the phone 'No I do not want him here. Just take him out!"

-Enrile


"Yes, that's it. I remember that, I remember that was in the middle of the night already we were already in Clark. The Americans still did not know quite what to do with us. The original arrangement was that we will be flown to Ilocos."
-Bongbong Marcos


"Cory requested that to Bosworth when I made the report to Cory, and because of the interregnum the gulo on that point probably the transmission of information to the operating units of the American Military was delayed."
-Enrile


"I remember Gen. Allen asked to see my Father... he sat us down and said that we were surrounded by NPA forces, and there were two columns of NPA units coming to attack."
-Bongbong Marcos


"There were no NPAs. They misinterpreted the Paoay to Hawaii."
-Enrile


"That was what eventually became the joke... the excuse that was given, was that we cannot fly to Paoay because Paoay does not have lights to land..."
-Bongbong Marcos


"In the morning of Tuesday he asked 'if I go north, do you think I'll be protected?'
'Of course!' I told him
'And if I get out of the country, can I come back?'
'Of course Mr. President, you are President of the country, you're free to come back to the country.'
those were my answer to him."
-Enrile


"Nakinig sila kay Cory, yung mga Amerikano because sabi niya peremptory yung kanyang sabi eh 'No I do not wan him here, take him out of the country.'"
-Enrile


"That seems to be the same report that we got, eventually the Americans told us that we were actually sent. The instruction was that, not to be brought anymore to Ilocos but to be taken out of the country."
-Bongbong Marcos


"History was totally distorted to favor one group."
- Enrile

"And little by little the truth will come out."
-Enrile

Marcos, President of the Philippines, narrates the events that led to the declaration of martial law—and the creation of a new society—as a compelling necessity of national survival, with a cool objectivity that highlights rather than diminishes the incredibly painful drama behind his historic decision. This book provides valuable insights into the rationale for martial law and the New Society's governing principles. President Marcos was making notes for a sequel to his first book.
