Oscar Lopez offered a job to Soliven in which he accepted. Max started out as a beat reporter under Enrique Santos, one of the legendary "terrors of Philippine journalism. He then got his break when Vergel Santos, one of the veteran news-writers of that time saw how Americanized he was and in turn, offered him to write an 11-part series on US economic and military assistance which was then featured on the front pages of the Chronicle in February 5–16, 1956. This helped earn him the National Press Club's Journalist of the Year Award of 1957. Soliven was popular with the editors because of his unique form of grammar and syntax when it comes to writing. This gave him the edge over the younger journalists of his time. </p><p>Max was chosen to be one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) of 1960 for journalism.

Max began there with a daily column entitled "A Word Edgewise" which the editors of the paper did not touch as per the deal requested by Max upon accepting his job there. At the age of 32, following the resignation of Fernando E.V. Sison as publisher, Soliven became the publisher and editor-in-chief of the now-defunct The Evening News, which rose in 1960 from sixth to second highest in daily circulation in the Philippines from being sixth on the year Max arrived there. Soliven again asserted himself demanding absolute editorial control with no interference from Stonehill, which was again accepted. He was only 32, and thus was called "the boy publisher" by Manila Daily Bulletin publisher Hans Menzi who was 51 at the time. </p><p>In 1961, as he always had an eye for foreign coverage, his request to cover Cuba was granted. He wrote an editorial published on April 26, 1961after the failure of the Bay of Pigs writing "How can it (the US) maintain its position of pre-eminence, how can it retain the trust of the Free World, when it shows it is capable of such calamitous bungling?". Soliven would also produce an 11-part series from September 16 to 27, 1961 entitled "The Truth About Cuba", detailing the planning by the Central Intelligence Agency during the Eisenhower administration and execution of the Bay of Pigs by the Kennedy administration less than three month after assuming office. </p><p>Upon his return to the country, Max covered the 1961 presidential election between President Garcia and Vice President Macapagal, and would solidify his being a political columnist around this time. </p><p>In 1962, Max left the Evening News after he found he had lost the full editorial policy he had asked for. </p><p>In June of that year, the Times announced that Max, along with his wife, ventured to Cambridge, Massachusetts to join the Kissinger program, which was a month's long worth of seminars, field trips, and discussion amongst the small group of 15 made up of legislators from Europe and newsmen from Japan who went along with Soliven. </p><p>He would spend the entirety of 1963 returning to Philippine developments before rejoining the Times the following year. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Return_to_the_Manila_Times">Return to the Manila Times</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Max_Soliven&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Return to the Manila Times"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>His passion for journalism drove him to the peaks of his career.

He would also become a columnist-on-air with the popular local radio station, DZFM alongside Melchie Aquino, who later be Philippine ambassador to West Germany. He also joined the opinions section in 1964. On February 3, 1964, the Manila Times first published Soliven's opinion column entitled "By The Way", which would go on to be his trademark column even in the Philippine Star. </p><p>One of his popular works with Manila Times would be his assignment in Saigon in Vietnam where he had his first direct experience with authoritarian rule, as Southeast Asian correspondent and "journalism consultant and special writer" for South Vietnam's Vietnam Presse. He used the money he earned from this to help fund his youngest sister, Ethel, as she would be leaving for New York of studies. </p><p>Soliven traveled to many of the notable global hotspots during the 1960s, such as the <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a> and the 1968 <a href="/wiki/Tet_Offensive" title="Tet Offensive">Tet Offensive</a> therein; and the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Gestapu_Coup&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Gestapu Coup (page does not exist)">Gestapu Coup</a> in <a href="/wiki/Indonesia" title="Indonesia">Indonesia</a> in 1965, in which half a million people were massacred.

After Times and his conundrum with Inquirer, they had no where else to go. Alongside his accolade Betty Go-Belmonte, they were hesitant with building up another newspaper considering the competition they were in (Manila Bulletin ranking #1 and The Inquirer being second). Despite hesitation, they decided to run the business, with Go-Belmonte as chairman and Soliven as the publisher. This was the 23rd newspaper to ever come out in the said industry, according to Soliven. The tandem they had was harmonious because of mutual accommodation and the give-and-take relationship the two had formed. </p><p>On July 28, 1986, their first publication was released to the public. Being new to the game, only a few copies were printed. They were just eight pages long. According to Miguel Belmonte, what the tandem did was a "leap of faith" due to the inauspicious debut they did. Legitimacy and credibility to the Philippine Star happened when Soliven's popular column, "By The Way" made an appearance. Rivalry against the leading newspaper companies is then solidified. In a matter of months, the circulation of the star would reach 60,000, easily gaining third place in the newspaper industry. The rankings would then stabilize and would remain the same for the following years. Throughout the years, the newspaper would be gaining income because of the strategy the tandem had. They would avoid the circulation problem that was occurring then due to low selling price and high manufacturing cost. </p><p>Soliven would then be the publisher of the newspaper until his death. He would see that the newspaper would rank second in the Philippines in readership, circulation, and advertising. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Martial_Law_Era">Martial Law Era</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Max_Soliven&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Martial Law Era"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Max_soliven_with_marcos.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Max_soliven_with_marcos.jpg/354px-Max_soliven_with_marcos.jpg" decoding="async" width="354" height="301" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Max_soliven_with_marcos.jpg/531px-Max_soliven_with_marcos.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Max_soliven_with_marcos.jpg/708px-Max_soliven_with_marcos.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1967" data-file-height="1672" /></a><figcaption>Maximo Soliven with Ferdinand Marcos, who will eventually have him imprisoned (from Maximo V.

As planned, the show took place and Soliven talked about the said plan for three hours. Little did they know that Marcos was ahead in action already. Hours after the airing, <a href="/wiki/Proclamation_No._1081" title="Proclamation No. 1081">Martial Law has already been declared</a>. Because of the talk the two did, it would result to Soliven's imprisonment.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On September 23, 1972, at midnight, soldiers and guards have already swarmed the residences of people who have been against the Marcos regime. Soliven appears to be one of which. Numbers of soldiers have infiltrated the residence Soliven lives in, in <a href="/wiki/Greenhills,_San_Juan" title="Greenhills, San Juan">Greenhills</a>, <a href="/wiki/San_Juan,_Metro_Manila" title="San Juan, Metro Manila">San Juan</a>. At 2 AM, the soldiers entered the home of the Soliven's and immediately captured Max. Among those imprisoned were <a href="/wiki/Benigno_Aquino_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Benigno Aquino Jr.">Ninoy Aquino</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jose_Diokno" class="mw-redirect" title="Jose Diokno">Pepe Diokno</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chino_Roces" title="Chino Roces">Chino Roces</a>, <a href="/wiki/Soc_Rodrigo" title="Soc Rodrigo">Soc Rodrigo</a>, Monching Mitra, Voltaire Garcia, and Jomari Velez. They were detained at <a href="/wiki/Fort_Bonifacio" title="Fort Bonifacio">Fort Bonifacio</a>. 70 days after, he was released from probation and was let go, but with certain conditions. He was 43 at the time, and at the peak of his career. </p><p>Upon his release on December 3, 1972, the air of which from Fort Bonifacio up to Kennedy Street in the North Greenhills subdivision in which he resides was very different from what he expected. Songs hailing Marcos was everywhere and pro-Marcos propaganda was raised. His terms for release were discussed at his home. They were: weekly reports to Camp Crame, no travels outside Manila, no foreign travels for 7 years and was ordered to be put under Elizabeth Marcos-Keon's personal support to serve as his "baby-sitter." </p><p>Initially, he has lost all hope for writing. However, due to his passion, he has found his way to writing for a lifestyle and tourism magazine called Sunburst. He will be with this magazine company for five years until he is ready to once again write for politics against the regime of Marcos. Under the management of Soliven, the magazine has reached various peaks with editorials and topics regarding the history of the Philippines. </p><p>Years after, Sunburst has collapsed, leaving a depressed Soliven. Soon after, as eager as Soliven could be, he and his fellow accolades put up the Philippines first ever full-color magazine, <i>Manila Magazine</i>, which he would be a part of from 1980 to 1984. This would serve as a connection to where Sunburst has left off. He had a monthly column in <i>Manila Magazine</i> entitled "In This Corner", where he would write his tempered opinions on Marcos. He was also able to travel out of the country for the first time after this, going to <a href="/wiki/Singapore" title="Singapore">Singapore</a> to cover the inauguration of the new <a href="/wiki/Changi_Airport" title="Changi Airport">Changi Airport</a>. </p><p>Throughout these years in the magazine industry, Soliven has been quiet with anything political related as it may result to him being executed. However, he continues his campaign against Marcos through criticisms in the magazine, a level or two below attack level. This would help him propagate his anti-Marcos movement. However, because of his beloved friend Ninoy Aquino, it led him to a full-blown against the dictator, as expressed in the <a href="/wiki/People_Power_Revolution" title="People Power Revolution">People Power Revolution of 1986</a>. </p><p>The death of Aquino signaled various catapults to change the Marcos-controlled media into a form of media that would ultimately help in overthrowing the regime. Since then, Soliven, along with his colleagues, started rebuilding the once-repressed Philippine press. </p><p>Shortly after the assumption into office of <a href="/wiki/Corazon_Aquino" title="Corazon Aquino">Corazón Aquino</a>, Soliven left the Inquirer to co-found the <a href="/wiki/Philippine_Star" class="mw-redirect" title="Philippine Star">Philippine Star</a>, where he remained until his death. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Death">Death</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Max_Soliven&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Death"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After garnering many accolades in Philippine journalism, Soliven died at age 77 in <a href="/wiki/Tokyo" title="Tokyo">Tokyo</a>, <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a> on November 24, 2006.
