\nMuch has been published on the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)
\n– its history, analysis of its rise and fall, and impact on the life of
\na nation. Leaders are mentioned but not their intellectual formation,
\nrevolutionary ideas and decisions they made. While some have written
\nepisodic memoirs a decade after the 1986 EDSA People Power, these
\nprincipally were contributions to anthologies memorializing the
\nhistorical event. My project attempts to document the thinking and role
\nof revolutionary leaders as reflected on and assessed by the leaders
\nthemselves five decades later. This is a partial telling of three of the
\nstories. Edicio De la Torre, an ex-priest, reconciled for many religious
\nactivists the necessity of armed struggle and national democracy with
\ntheir Christian faith. Victor Corpus, a top-ranking Armed Forces of the
\nPhilippines Officer, defected to the CPP with a large cache of firearms
\nand trained young warriors of the New People\u2019s Army. Ricardo Reyes,
\ncalled the Dark Lord, whose trajectory into activism and communism in
\nthe 70s and rise to the CPP Central Committee best typifies that of the
\nrevolutionary intellectual\u2019s of the 70s. Here are the stories of men in
\ntheir 20s as they themselves remember now that they are in their 70s.<\/p>\n
