Edgar Jopson, a student leader in the 70s who attended to a meeting with Marcos in Malacañang only to be insulted as a “grocer’s son”. He was brave, intelligent, and a diligent son. In school, he excelled academically; became prominent as one of the great possible leaders we could have produced but lost in the martial law era of Ferdinand Marcos.
