This hermeneutical critique seeks to articulate the sexual politics submerged in the experiences of selected activists during and after the period of the Marcos dictatorship. In the disasters they suffered, we find revealed the barbaric violence of imperialism and the patriarchalfeudal system. In the quest for the missing child and their own kidnapped self-recognition, the narrative symbolized the damage suffered by whole communities, not just the forcibly disappeared. The plot center-stages the ordeal of oligarchic honor in the crisis that destroyed the rituals of marriage and party discipline. In the process, the fate of individual citizens and the fate of the nation coalesced. Embodied in manifold experiences, the interwoven testimonies of the families involved function as a national allegory in which the traumatic terror of the Martial Law regime becomes a concrete universal for all. Memory/recollection as protagonist becomes a key mediation for the children's predicament, serving as an analogical figure for the disrupted dialectic of the historical project for the people's liberation. It serves as a trope that the contradictions of time and space, body and soul, ethics and geopolitics, will be resolved by the collective effort of organic people's agencies to achieve the goals of national democracy and sovereignty.
