Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc - "In his autobiography which covers over sixty years, Tony Macalinao tells us not only the story of his own life, but also traces the rise of former Palawan governor Salvador Socrates, his friend and brother-in-law, who is widely credited for implementing pioneering projects and programs in that province. Aside from the inside glimpse it gives the reader into the workings of local government during the tumultuous decades of Ferdinand Marcos's presidency, Macalinao provides an engaging, often humorous, sometimes touching narrative of his adventures as student, family man and behind-the-scenes operator in government."
