The last two lines of Dylan Thomas's villanelle "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" is often alluded to in Philippine writing, particularly in works that delve into politics. The poem was far from being political, as it was written from the point of view of a grieving son who encourages his dying father to retain his raging temper until his last breath. But the lines indeed seem to be a metaphor for a strong call to action regarding a humanitarian cause. As such, in the days before martial law was declared, the Philippines Free Press—which was at the time the country's most stringent proponent of adversarial journalism—published an editorial using Dylan Thomas's words along with an editorial cartoon by Esmeraldo Dizon.
