Edgar "Edjop" Jopson became a symbol of the modern idealistic Filipino youth who faced the realities of Martial Law without flinching, gladly giving all, including their lives, for the country and the people. * Born on September 1, 1948, he was the second eldest among twelve children whose family lived in Sampaloc, Manila. He got married with Gloria Maria Asuncion on January 26, 1974 in a church in Navotas. He is one of the most well-known figures in the student movement before the martial-law period. He led the National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP) to become involved in current issues. It was the NUSP that initiated the massive rally held in front of the Congress building on January 26, 1970 during the “State of the Nation” address of Marcos. He was soon a ranking leader of the anti-dictatorship revolutionary movement, tasked to head the preparatory commission for the National Democratic Front of the Philippines. In 1979 he was arrested in Metro Manila and tortured while under interrogation. After ten days, he escaped and immediately rejoined the underground. In 1981, he was one of the most wanted person in the country with Php 180,000 prize on his head. On September 20, 1982, he was captured during a military raid in Davao City, shot while trying to escape, taken alive, brought to the military camp and interrogated. He refused to “cooperate” and was summarily executed the following day. http://www.bantayog.org/jopson-edgar-gil-mirasol/ Watch the last two shows of #AGameOfTrolls April 22 and 23 via KTX! https://www.ktx.ph/category/a-game-of-trolls
