Drilon to launch memoir ‘Being Frank’MANILA, Philippines — As another impeachment complaint against President Marcos moves through Congress, former Senate president Franklin Drilon is revisiting moments when the country last faced similar political tests in his autobiography. Drilon will launch on Feb. 9 “Being Frank: A Memoir,” a 254-page first-person account that traces his decades-long career in public service. The memoir covers major events in the country, political alliances, hard-won lessons and landmark laws that helped shape the country’s modern history. In one account, Drilon recalls receiving a series of phone calls in the days leading up to the Estrada impeachment trial. “I remember the phone calls – some pleading, others threatening; former allies questioned my loyalty, my motives, even my integrity,” Drilon narrated.
