These little nuggets were culled from a collection of articles written between 1964 and 1970 by the most celebrated writer in the Philippines, Nick Joaquin, under his journalistic pen name Quijano de Manila. The collection, entitled Reportage on the Marcoses (National Book Store, Manila), was published in 1979, and reprinted in 1981. He is also the author of a gushing hagiography of the Aquino family, entitled The Aquinos of Tarlac, written in 1972, revised and published in 1983—'The Philippine pageant as only Nick Joaquin can tell it.'
