The WE Forum was a fortnightly[1] newspaper in the Philippines founded by Jose Burgos Jr. in 1977, while Martial law under Ferdinand Marcos was still in effect.
[2] In November 1982, the WE Forum published a story by Colonel Bonifacio Gillego, exposing the falsehood of Ferdinand Marcos' supposed wartime medals.
The METROCOM Intelligence and Security Group, acting on Marcos' orders, retaliated in what has since become known as the WE Forum raid.
[3] They arrested Burgos and his staff for a month and padlocked the paper's facilities, shutting the WE Forum down until December 1984 when the Supreme Court declared the raid illegal, dismissing all evidence against the WE Forum and rendering its staff relieved.
[4] Publication of the WE Forum finally ended in 1985, while Malaya became a major industry player during the days of the 1986 People Power revolution.
