Senator Pimentel recently

launched his book:

Martial Law
in the Philippines:
My Story

    Senator Aquilino "Nene" Pimentel, Jr. painstakingly chronicles his experience as a political prisoner during the 20 year rule of the dictator Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines.

    The book gives an exhaustive and factual account of the events that roused a nation and dismantled martial law.  It provides a refreshingly candid look at the life of Senator Pimentel as a small town dabbler in politics, city mayor, assemblyman, and national public figure.

    Senator Pimentel provides an honest to goodness examination of  his political successes and failures, including a funny faux pas at a prestigious international affair.

    The author also pays tribute to many Filipinos whose sacrifices sustained the peaceful struggle towards today's freedom but are often times unrecognized and ignored.
