View through CrossRef
This chapter examines the role barricades played in resisting against the regime of Ferdinand Marcos. The chapter details the barricades students set up for their protests and campus occupations. Nine days after they erected them, the few students remaining on campus voluntarily tore down them down, and life at the university returned to normal. Meanwhile, major explosions and fires broke out on both the Los Baños and the Diliman campuses of the University of the Philippines as the barricades were being taken down. The chapter explains that the Communist Party of the Philippines was left holding scraps of the labor movement after losing both the trust of significant layers of the working class and access to their organizations.
