The Martial Law docudrama tells the story of award-winning screenwriter Bonifacio Ilagan, as he journeyed from his days as an idealistic youth to the declaration of Martial Law and his eventual capture and torture under the hands of the Philippine Constabulary. It was Bonifacio Ilagan who wrote "Alaala".

It is one of the eight winners from GMA Network, which also includes the only Filipino recipient of Best News Anchor, Jessica Soho.
