Primitivo Mijares

Primitivo Mijares, once an insider in the Marcos regime, was a man who walked the line between power and conscience. As a journalist and propagandist, he navigated the corridors of power, witnessing the rot of corruption and brutality that festered within the administration. But his loyalty was not to the regime; it was to the truth. In a bold act of defiance, he fled to the United States, turning his knowledge into a weapon against the very regime he once served. His testimony exposed the tortures and corruption that underpinned the Marcos dictatorship, making him a beacon of resistance and a target of the powerful. On a fateful day in January 1977, he boarded a flight from Guam to the Philippines with General Fabian Ver, only to disappear into the shadows of history. His book, 'The Conjugal Dictatorship,' remains a chilling account of the regime's crimes, while his disappearance stands as a testament to the perilous fight for justice. Primitivo Mijares, the hero who dared to defy, lives on as a symbol of courage in the face of tyranny.
