2026-02-23 - 06:04

It’s been 40 years since the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution ushered in a new era of democracy in the Philippines. And yet the country faces pretty much the same problems as before — poverty, inequality, corruption — plus the cynicism of Filipinos disillusioned by promises yet unfulfilled. What does a third-generation Aquino — a family both hailed and vilified in light of 1986 — make of all these? Kiko Aquino-Dee, grandson of Ninoy and Cory Aquino, and nephew of Noynoy Aquino, speaks to Rappler on the eve of the anniversary. Watch it starting February 23, Monday, at 8pm. – Rappler.com Producer: JC Gotinga Videographer: Franz Lopez Video editor: Emerald Hidalgo Graphics artists: Nico Villarete, David Castuciano Supervising producer: Beth Frondoso
