Prometheus burns still: Pete Lacaba
|
|
At times of peace, the friends a man keeps
define his character. His quiet toil speaks of his dignity. But at
times that call for blood and iron, a man’s worth can be weighed

close to heart he strikes and how deep he wounds.

“Pete” Lacaba picked a fight with biggest man he

dictatorship. Under the nom de plum Ruben Cuevas, Lacaba published
his poem “Prometheus Unbound” at Focus, a magazine that had
allied itself with the Marcos regime.
