Edsa 1 documentary on ABS-CBN 2 tonight

A 90-minute video documentary reliving the historic people power revolt on Edsa two decades ago will be aired at 9:30 p.m. tonight over ABS-CBN Channel 2.

The documentary, "Edsa 1986: Mga Tinig nang Himagsikan," is produced by the Foundation for Worldwide People Power (FWPP) and directed by award-winning documentarist Butch Nolasco based on a script by Nancy and Raul Rodrigo.

Of Edsa 1, Eugenia Apostol, FWPP chairperson, said it was a "shining moment in history" that ushered in the country’s search for genuine change, and whose "real goal…was not a mere change of regimes but rather of genuine social transformation."

Apostol is the founding chairperson of the Philippine Daily Inquirer and publisher of the tabloid Mr. & Ms Special Editions, two of the leading papers that openly opposed the Marcos regime.

Capping the documentary is an MTV of a new original song by Kitchie Nadal.

Read today’s Inquirer editorial. It could provide some perspective, if not answer, to what you are asking.
