Jo-Ann Maglipon said the authors of the book wanted  people "to remember that martial law did happen, and censorship did come about and rule this country."

She stressed, "Just as we fought then, it can happen again, we will fight again."

Ms. Jo-Ann chats with celebrity couple Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres-Gomez after the program. Richard says he's glad that Jo-Ann and her journalist-friends have come up with Not On Our Watch.

He relates, "Kasi sa times na lagi kaming magkasama, in all our gatherings, in all our story-telling, she would always talk about her life as an activist, her life during martial law days."
