What happens when veterans, Gen Z remember People Power?
MANILA, Philippines – How can one truly “move on”?
The date is February 22, 1986. What they thought was a normal stiff afternoon turns out to be a pivotal historical moment for the country.
An overheard discussion from an editor’s room. A stern, commanding voice from a familiar church figure, calling people to move. A movement is brewing along one of the Philippine capital’s major thoroughfares.
Listen to the stories of Chito Dela Vega, a then-starting journalist who used to work for a newsroom with a boss supportive of the Marcos regime; Sister Cho Borromeo, a nun who thought she was about to die on the streets; and Carmela Abao, a former student leader who spent most of her weekends aiding detainees.
Forty years later, these three veterans from the EDSA People Power Movement reunite with Gen Z actor Jerom Canlas to remember what it was like 40 years ago, over a merienda (an afternoon snack) of the same food once shared on the iconic avenue.
