Description
As the Philippines' elections on Monday look set to return the son of late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos to the presidential palace, the regime's victims are hurt and dismayed -- but determined to renew their struggle.
A former political prisoner Bonifacio Ilagan was captured during a raid on a dissident safehouse in 1974. He was held for two years in the elder Marcos's jails and tortured repeatedly to give up fellow opponents of the regime.
"I felt that my bones would crack," Ilagan tells AFP as he remembers when "they inserted bullets between the fingers of both hands and squeezed my hand so tightly that I was screaming." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
