Introduction

LORENZO M. TANADA: A TRIBUTE TO A COLOSSAL NATIONALIST LEADER

by
Prof. Roland G. Simbulan
National Chairperson
Nuclear-Free Philippines Coalition

Senator Lorenzo M. Tanada, who will have celebrated his 94th birthday this year 
passed away last May 28, 1992. We regard the former Senator Lorenzo M. Tanada, 
or "Ka Tanny", as a colossal nationalist leader and statesman who excellently 
dedicated his whole life and brilliance in the service of the Filipino nation. From
1981 to 1983, Ka Tanny served as founding Chairman of the Nuclear-Free Philippines 
Coalition (NFPC) and thereafter served as its Chairman Emeritus until his demise. 
Perhaps, it is no coincidence that his passing away is on the same year as the 
founding centennial of the Katipunan, the revolutionary movement of the Filipino 
people that led to that turning point in our history, the day the Filipino people 
launched a nationwide and eventually victorious struggle to end more than three 
centuries of Spanish colonial subjugation, the first national revolution against 
Western colonialism in Asia.

The Nuclear-Free Philippines Coalition (NFPC) and the International Affairs Program 
of the National Council of Churches (NCCP-IAP) is very proud to reprint Senator 
Lorenzo Tanada's speech, "The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant: A Monument to Man's
Folly ... "which we first printed in 1983, as a way of paying tribute to the life 
and cause of this great nationalist leader.
