The late Pope John Paul II, who served as Pontiff from 1978 to 2005, visited the Philippines twice—in February 1981, when he beatified the first Filipino martyr, Lorenzo Ruiz, and in January 1995, when an estimated 4 million Filipinos attended the Mass he celebrated at the close of World Youth Day.

 

He first visited the country in February 1973, as Kraków Archbishop Karol Cardinal Wojtyla.

 

“The Filipino people are never far from my mind and heart,” the Pope said on his arrival in January 1995, when cheers of “Mabuhay” and “Viva il Papa” greeted him at the old Manila International Airport. The Polish-born Pontiff was then 74 years old.

 

“Father, look at your children eagerly awaiting the Holy Father,” then Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin said, gesturing toward the costumed schoolchildren who performed folk dances as the Pope’s plane taxied on the runway.

 

Most beloved

 

A crowd numbering in the hundreds of thousands lined the streets from the airport to Roxas Boulevard, Quirino Avenue and the Apostolic Nunciature on Taft Avenue to welcome one of history’s most beloved popes.

 

It was “the most rousing welcome ever given a visiting foreign dignitary that is yet unparalleled in the country’s history,” Inquirer columnist Ceres Doyo wrote.
Ahead of the Pope’s visit on Feb. 17, 1981, then President Ferdinand Marcos declared that he had “lifted” martial law.

 

On this visit, Pope John Paul II’s first agenda was to celebrate Mass at Manila Cathedral, after which he expressed to Cardinal Sin his wish for Manila Cathedral to become a basilica.

 

The Pope next visited the Our Lady of Perpetual Help church in Baclaran where he met with religious women, and the archbishop’s residence, Villa San Miguel, where he met with the Philippine Episcopate and Asian bishops.

 

Sign of vitality

 

The following day, the Pope delivered a message at Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. He next addressed the Filipino youth at the University of Santo Tomas (UST), telling them that

 

“[t]he Church is not frightened at the intensity of your feeling. It is a sign of vitality. It indicates pent-up energy, which of itself is neither good nor bad, but can be used for good causes or for bad.”

 

The Pope also addressed the poor in Tondo and later proceeded to Manila’s Rizal Park where he beatified Lorenzo Ruiz and other martyrs who were persecuted in Japan in the 17th century. It was the first beatification outside of Rome in history.

 

The Chinese Catholic communities in Asia and later, the Diplomatic Corps, had an audience with the Pope as well.

 

On Feb. 19, 1981, the Pope flew to Cebu City, where he met with the priests and seminarians of the Sacred Heart before celebrating a Mass for families at the old Lahug airport.

  

Muslim community

 

The following day, the Pope celebrated Mass for the community of Davao City before meeting with representatives of the Muslim community at the Davao airport. On the same day, he met with landowners and workers of sugarcane plantations in the reclaimed area of Bacolod City, as well as with representatives of Catholic organizations in the Cathedral of Jaro in Iloilo province.

 

On Feb. 21, 1981, the Pope visited a refugee camp in Morong town, Bataan province, and met with Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian war refugees. He then met with a group of lepers in Tala at Radio Veritas in Manila. Over Radio Veritas, the Pope addressed the other Asian nations that have never had a pontifical visit, among them China, North Korea and Vietnam. His message was a prayer for peace in these nations’ quest for prosperity.

 

The Pope later met with representatives of mass media and of other Christian churches in the Philippines and with the labor committees in the Apostolic Nunciature in Manila.

 

Pope John Paul II’s last day in the Philippines on Feb. 22, 1981, began in Baguio City with a Mass for indigenous tribes after which farewell ceremonies were held at Manila International Airport.

 

It was December 1985 and the rented office in the Port Area building was crowded with Eggie Apostol’s editors, reporters, photographers, other personnel—and an overwhelming sense of purpose. As though to foreshadow the shape of things to come, a brief power outage marked the eve of the newspaper’s inaugural, and reports had to be written and edited by shaky candlelight, by hand and on (a few) typewriters. Even so, the Philippine Daily Inquirer, its front page famously looking like “an unmade bed,” came into being. Even then, it managed to beat the odds.

 

The Marcos regime was on its last legs, the effects of the 1983 assassination of Ninoy Aquino coming to a head and the steady, stirring inroads of his widow Cory chipping away at the dictatorship’s base. The strongman tried to revive his crumbling apparat by announcing a snap election in February 1986. The fledgling newspaper covered history and put out the momentous headline: “Marcos flees!”

 

Fast forward to 30 years later, and the Inquirer continues to deliver the news and commentary that make history. But today, operating from its own buildings in Makati, it does so in various platforms to reach a fast-changing, ever-widening readership. From print to online to mobile to digital, Twitter, Instagram, video, and radio broadcasts, Inquirer Multimedia can be accessed anywhere, anytime.

 

As the newspaper grew its readership, it built strength and stature, gathering awards and recognition for its groundbreaking reports, eventually becoming No. 1 in the industry. Agenda-setting is, after all, part of the Inquirer DNA. It kicked in during those tumultuous days before, during and after Edsa 1, when Filipinos hungry to learn about the unfolding events turned to the newspaper for unvarnished news that others had been too timid, too browbeaten, to report. No wonder the Edsa People Power Revolt has often been described as the media revolution, with the Inquirer firmly at front-row center.

 

In last weekend’s launch of “The Inquirer Story: 30 Years of Shaping History,” Inquirer president Sandy Prieto-Romualdez defined our reportage philosophy: “We do not believe that there is such a thing as ‘alternative press’—as counterweight against a so-called ‘crony press.’ There is only one kind of journalism and it is neither ‘alternative’ nor ‘crony.’ It is journalism that reports the facts, neither tailoring them to suit our friends, nor twisting them to dismay or destroy our enemies.” 

 

Brief History of People Power

 

The footsteps came at break of light. Agapito “Butz” Aquino reckoned that just twenty people answered his call to gather and march to Camp Aguinaldo, where they would take a stand against the Marcos Dictatorship. But in a few minutes, more footsteps arrived. The crowd of twenty grew into a hundred, and then teemed into thousands. And the march of a few Filipinos transformed into the journey of an entire nation.

 

From February 22 to 25, 1986, the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution would continue to astound Butz Aquino. Thousands more flocked to Camp Aguinaldo, responding to Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin’s appeal for them to protect soldiers who defected against the Marcos Dictatorship. “I ask you to support Mr. Enrile and Gen. Ramos, give them food if you like, they are our friends," the Manila Archbishop earlier said over Radio Veritas.

 

Each time the Marcos Dictatorship would send its military forces to stifle People Power, it seemed that another miracle would transpire. Frustrated over decades of injustice, misrule, and the widespread fraud during the snap elections, Filipinos defiantly stood their ground against tear gas and tanks. When General Artemio Tadiar led a contingent of Marines in tanks to attack the rebel soldiers, the people formed a human barricade and held them at bay. When the gunships of the 15th Strike Wing began to circle Camp Crame with orders to attack, the civilians still would not disperse. However, instead of firing their cannons and rockets, the gunships landed on Crame, the pilots disembarked, and Colonel Antonio Sotelo announced the defection of the entire 15th Strike Wing.

 

People Power also astounded observers throughout the world. Members of the international media documented poignant stories of nuns sharing food with the soldiers sent to hurt them, of strangers linking arms despite apparent differences, and of the music of “Bayan Ko” — banned by the Dictatorship after being labeled an opposition song — triumphantly being sung on the streets and broadcasted over Radyo Bandido.

 

At daybreak of February 25, the Dictatorship — started 14 years ago through lies and the imprisonment of those who spoke against it — finally fell. The courage and solidarity shown by the Filipino people had defeated the country’s most brutal regime. United States senator Paul Laxalt told former President Marcos: “I think you should cut, and cut cleanly.” At 10:15 am on that same day, Cory Aquino arrived at the Club Filipino and was inaugurated as the President of the Philippines. At 7:30 pm, United States helicopters landed on the Pangarap golf course to pick up the Marcos family. The news was later announced over DZRH: “The Marcoses have fled the country.”

 

In her inaugural speech, President Cory Aquino, addressed a liberated nation, and in words that would resound through history, described the victory of People Power: “We became exiles, we Filipinos who are at home only in freedom, when Marcos destroyed the Republic fourteen years ago. Now, by God’s grace and the power of the people, we are free again.” 

 

Twenty-three-year-old Stephen Salcedo was pronounced dead on arrival at the Philippine General Hospital in Manila around 5 p.m. of July 27, 1986. His death was caused by multiple concussions in the head and body.

 

He was rushed to the hospital after a group of Marcos loyalists ganged up on him and beat the life out of him near the Rizal Monument in Rizal Park. The STAR’s Ariel Antolin, as well as a number of other photographers from different newspapers, captured on film the moment Salcedo was beaten to death.

 

Witnesses said the loyalists attacked Salcedo after they saw him wearing a yellow T-shirt and flashing the “Laban” sign, both of which were symbols of then president Corazon Aquino, who came to power earlier that year after a bloodless revolution that toppled dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

 

The loyalists who congregated in the park were remnants of the July 6 coup, wherein former vice president and staunch Marcos supporter Arturo Tolentino, together with at least 490 armed soldiers and 5,000 Marcos loyalists, seized the nearby Manila Hotel and declared himself as the acting president of the country.

 

The coup only lasted until July 8. The putschists failed to attract public support and were forced to surrender to the authorities. While the Marcos loyalists who supported them were asked to quietly disperse, they came back to the park in the succeeding Sundays to denounce Aquino’s rule.

 

The July 27 rally of some 500 Marcos loyalists was held without a permit from the Manila City Hall and thus ordered dispersed. Just as the police began breaking up the rally, its ringleaders, lawyers Oliver Lozano and Benjamin Nuega, began shouting, “Gulpihin ninyo ang lahat ng mga Cory infiltrators. Sige, sige gulpihin ninyo! (Go ahead and beat up all Cory infiltrators).”

 

They began attacking anyone wearing yellow, including five Japanese tourists donning yellow sun visors as they strolled through the park.

 

When they converged again near the Chinese Garden, they came across actress and Marcos supporter Annie Ferrer who was jogging. They informed her of the dispersal, to which she responded, “Gulpihin ninyo ang mga Cory hecklers!”

 

It was at that point that they attacked Salcedo, who happened to be promenading at the park to spend what perhaps was the remaining days in Manila before going to Saudi Arabia for employment on Aug. 4.

 

The attack became The STAR’s headline – “Wear yellow and die” – in its inaugural issue on July 28, 1986. It reflected the socio-political atmosphere at that time when the country was divided between the “yellows” who supported the People Power Revolution and the loyalists who stood by Marcos’ autocratic rule despite his exile in Hawaii.

 

Prior to Salcedo’s fatal beating, the loyalists were seen as a mere embittered faction of society that failed to come to terms with the revolution’s outcome. With Salcedo’s death, it became clear what they were capable of, and thus, they became a serious threat to the stability of a restored democracy.

 

For STAR founder and publisher Betty Go-Belmonte, Salcedo’s death was an opportunity to show Marcos loyalists what the “yellows” are capable of – compassion and community.

 

As the loyalists sowed hatred in the streets and in the newspapers and radio stations they controlled, The STAR countered it by closely following Salcedo’s case. Photos of the mauling incident were posted on the front page to help identify and capture the perpetrators. It was able to track down and interview Salcedo’s widow in Sta. Mesa, Manila, giving readers a glimpse of the poor family that was left without a breadwinner because of foolhardy Marcos loyalists.

 

Moved by the widow’s plight, Belmonte decided to use her column Pebbles to call on compassionate Filipinos to help the bereaved family. Heeding her call, readers from all over Metro Manila and other parts of the country sent their financial donations, which Belmonte personally handed to Salcedo’s widow. Stephen’s mother Josephine personally went to The STAR to thank Belmonte for the support. Belmonte comforted the grieving mother and encouraged her to show strength amid their unfortunate situation.

 

The STAR’s coverage of the Salcedo case led to the arrest and filing of murder charges against eight individuals, namely Romeo Sison, Nilo Pacadar, Joel Tan, Richard de los Santos, Joselito Tamayo, Raul Billosos, Gerry Nery and Rolando Fernandez. Also charged as accomplices in the murder were Lozano, Nuega and Ferrer.

 

In 1995, the Supreme Court ruled in the case with finality, upholding a guilty verdict by the lower courts for Sison, Pacadar, Tan and de los Santos and sentencing them to life imprisonment. It also upheld the guilty verdict against Tamayo for the crime of homicide, sentencing him to 12 to 20 years imprisonment. The high court also ordered the accused to pay Salcedo’s family for actual and moral damages as well as indemnity. The courts acquitted Billosos, Nery, Fernandez, Lozano, Nuega and Ferrer.

 

In its coverage of the Salcedo case, The STAR showed what made it distinct from other newspapers at that time: a newspaper that combines journalism and advocacy.

 

It was a distinction that the newspaper continued to exhibit even after the Salcedo case, through its coverage of natural and man-made disasters and its corporate social responsibility activities. As such, it made a name for itself as a newspaper that shines a light on pressing issues and actually makes a difference, by empowering and encouraging readers to act, thus enabling them to make a difference. And it continues to do so today.

 

It is a newspaper that lives up to its name – the country’s beacon, The Philippine STAR.

 

Second visit

 

The Pope visited the Philippines again in January 1995 in time for the 10th World Youth Day. Some 3 million people lined the streets to welcome John Paul II, who arrived on Jan. 12, 1995.

 

The five-day visit was the Pope’s first overseas trip after he underwent an artificial bone implant in the leg following a hip injury in April 1994.

 

On his arrival, the Pope addressed the youth and invited them “… to [s]ee the world around you with the eyes of Jesus himself! The Gospel says that when he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”

 

The following day, the Pontiff met with then President Fidel Ramos at Malacañang and later celebrated Mass for the 233 delegates of the International Youth Forum at Central Seminary Chapel of the UST. He also gave a 20-minute speech to some 200,000 cheering students and academicians gathered at UST Grandstand and Parade Grounds.

 

“I see that it is my great privilege to be here, to be here and discover anew this phenomenon I knew before, and today I know better,” the Pontiff said.

 

Fourth centenary

 

During this visit, Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass to mark the fourth centenary of the Archdiocese of Manila and the Dioceses of Cebu, Caceres and Nueva Segovia at the Philippine International Convention Center grounds in Pasay City.

 

In a private meeting with members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, the Pope made the “strongest comments” defending the Catholic ban on artificial contraceptives. He also condemned the injustice in the country and noted the “increasing” gap between rich and poor.

 

“When powerful interests promote policies which are against the moral law inscribed on the human heart, they offend the dignity of man who is made in the image and likeness of God,” the Pontiff said. “In doing so, they undermine the foundations of society itself.”

 

Four million people, the biggest in his 16 years, 2 months, 29 days reign, thronged the Rizal Park yesterday to see and hear Pope John Paul II celebrate a Mass marking the end of the 1995 World Youth Day (WYD).

Even the Pope could not get through the surging mass in his Popemobile. He had to be transported to the Quirino Grandstand in the presidential helicopter.

 

He was visibly moved by the sight of the huge turnout.

 

“The Pope was reluctant to ride the helicopter because he was thinking of the multitude that would somehow be disappointed,” the aide said.

 

“He knew that since last night, they were already at the site.”

 

He boarded the helicopter only after being informed by security personnel that even President Ramos was forced to use it because the streets had become impassable.

 

“I do not remember an instance when the Holy Father rode a helicopter (to attend) a big gathering like this one,” the aide said.

 

“He wants to be seen by the people so he can bless them as he passes by.”

 

The Pope was disappointed over the last-minute change, he was overwhelmed by the Filipinos’ very warm welcome, the aide added.

 

It was a dramatic climax to his triumphant five-day visit and confirmed his view that the future of the Catholic Church lies in Asia.

 

“I personally have never seen a crowd this big in my life,” said Archbishop John Foley, President of the Pontifical Council for Special Communications.

 

“This is marvelous. This is a wonderful outpouring of faith, love, fervor, and the (Pope) is very pleased. The crowd surpassed the two million people who turned out in 1979 at the Pope’s hometown of Krakow for the first visit to his Polish homeland after his elevation to the papacy,” Foley said.

 

It also dwarfed the million or so who faced down tanks and guns in the February 1986 uprising that toppled the strongman Ferdinand Marcos from power.

 

And the two million who rallied behind Cory Aquino at the Luneta after the snap elections.
People started massing at the Rizal Park as early as midnight Saturday, swelling the one-million crowd that attended the WYD delegates’ sunset vigil at the 20-hectare Rizal Park.
The throng grew swiftly as more and more people arrived early yesterday morning.

 

Among those who came for the Mass were delegations from the provinces, some coming from as far north as Vigan.

 

`Heal, transform’

 

In his homily, the Pope roused the youth of the world to “heal and transform society” and to participate in God’s mission “in a unique and personal way.”

 

He urged them to respect the “beautiful gift of sexuality” and to resist the lure of alcohol and drugs as well as “peer pressure and . . . the pervasive influence of trends and fashions publicized by the media.”

 

As in the previous day, the Pope called on Filipinos “to play a fuller role in the Church’s elevating and liberating service to the human family.”

 

The themes of “mission” and “becoming apostles” prevailed in the Pope’s homilies and speeches in the past days.

 

His constant quote from the Bible was “As the Father has sent me, so do I send you.”
At the 1993 WYD celebration in Denver, the theme was “newness of life.”

 

According to an aide, the Pontiff had insisted on using the Popemobile to get to the Rizal Park.

 

`Excess of success’

 

“There is no security problem,” said Vatican spokesperson Joaquin Navarro-Valls as officials tried to decide on how to get the Pope to the park. “This is an excess of success.”
In a statement issued later in the day, Navarro-Valls said cancelling the Mass due to security risks was never considered.

 

“The Pope truly has a big heart,” he said. Navarro-Valls added that the turnout was estimated at five million.

 

From the Apostolic Nunciature on Taft Avenue, the Pontiff arrived at Malacanang Park aboard the Popemobile at 9:20 a.m., where he was greeted by the families of members of the Presidential Security Group.

 

They waved copies of his photograph and raised rosaries and images of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Mother for his blessing.

 

He then boarded the helicopter along with Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin and Papal Nuncio Gian Vincenso Moreni.

 

The President arrived at the grandstand on board the same helicopter at exactly 9 a.m. He was accompanied by his daughter Angel, her husband Norman Jones, and Ambassador Lolita R. Haney.

 

The three-and-a-half-hour Mass, earlier set at 8:45 a.m., did not begin until past 10.
After mounting the podium, the Pope stared out at the pennant-waving throng which stretched as far as he could see.

 

His face was almost devoid of expression, and his lips quivered as if he were talking to himself.

 

But he seemed to respond to the warmth of the crowd as the Mass continued.

 

At the end of the Mass, the multilingual Pope delivered special farewell messages in 13 languages, including Filipino.

 

He was brought back by the same helicopter to Malacanang Park, where he boarded the Popemobile for the trip to the San Carlos Seminary in Makati.

 

`Hope’

 

The Pope called the world’s youth the “hope for the future” on which will depend the coming Third Millennium which he described as “a marvelous epoch for humanity but which also raises not a few fears and anxieties.”

 

“Build your lives on the one model that will not deceive you,” he urged the youth.

 

“I invite you to open the Gospel and discover that Jesus Christ wants to be your friend.”

 

He challenged the Christian laity to do its part.

 

He called on “people who till the soil, factory workers, engineers, technicians, doctors, nurses and health care personnel, teachers, men and women in the legal profession, those who serve in public life.”

 

He also challenged “writers, people who work in the theater and cinema and the media, artists, musicians, sculptors and painters” to take part in the mission.

 

Again addressing the youth, the Pope added “one specific challenge and appeal, which involves the healing of a source of immense frustration and suffering in many families all over the world.”

 

Gratitude toward parents He said: “Parents and older people sometimes feel that they have lost contact with you, and they are upset, just as Mary and Joseph felt anguish when they realized that Jesus had stayed behind in Jerusalem.

 

“Sometimes you are very critical of the world of adults, and sometimes they are very critical of you . . . But always remember that you owe your life and upbringing to your parents.”

 

He exhorted both parents and children “to build bridges of dialogue and communication.
Young people from all over the world, including a black youth clad in a g-string, presented offerings at the Mass.

 

A young man from the Netherlands read the manifesto of the International Youth Forum.
The main concelebrants of the Mass were Sin, Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, Vatican Secretary of State Angelo Cardinal Sudano, and Eduardo Cardinal Pironio, head of the Pontifical Council for the Laity.

 

Hundreds of cardinals, bishops and priests also served as concelebrants.

 

`To see him’

 

Scores of people who had been waiting for the Pope started leaving Rizal Park when they learned he had taken a helicopter.

 

“Why should I stay when I won’t see him, after all?” said an elderly woman. “I just came here to see the Pope.”

 

By the time the Mass started, the crowd in front of the Manila Hotel had shrunk to a third of its original size.

 

More than 100 children aged seven and below were reported missing while thousands suffering from intense heat and cold collapsed in the mass camp-out at the Nunciature and Rizal Park from Saturday night to Sunday morning.

 

As of 5:30 p.m. yesterday, the Department of Health counted 1,720 persons who were brought to emergency medical stations at the park.

 

The complaints involved dizziness, asthma, allergies and headaches, said Dr. John Layugan, a member of the Stop Disasters, Epidemics, Accidents and Traumas for Health (Stop Death) team.

 

Criselda Tungcol, 19, a WYD delegate from San Juan, Metro Manila, was rushed to the Polymedic General Hospital in Mandaluyong after suffering spasms at Rizal Park. She has since been discharged.

 

Although the Pope looked very tired and lost in thought as he arrived for a Sunday evening meeting with Asian bishops, aides said his Manila reception was just what he needed to help get through the loss of his former active lifestyle.

 

“That kind of change is difficult psychologically and this trip has helped him come to peace with himself about this new phase in his life,” the aide added.

 

“It has recharged his batteries.”

 

The following morning, the Pope left Manila for Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. In his farewell speech before some 10,000 people at the old Manila International Airport, the Pontiff said: “The Pope feels so well in the Philippines that he looks at another opportunity perhaps to return.”

 

He added: “I take with me a thousand images of the Filipino people.”

 

It was Friday, June 12, 1998, a public holiday. Thousands of spectators flocked to Rizal Park awaiting the start of festivities for the Philippine Centennial Year celebrations.

 

They came by the busloads – couples, families, friends, even whole villages – donning caps, holding umbrellas and wearing Filipiniana attire amid the morning heat. Others wore the nation’s colors and carried various sizes of Philippine flags.

It was a field day for many, and the beginning of a long weekend. They laid mats and cardboard on the grass, brought out packed lunch in Tupperware and exchanged small talk.

For some, the park became an instant classroom for parents to give impromptu lectures to their children on Philippine history, culture and tradition.

One parent, Elizabeth Montecillo, brought her two sons and a nephew so she could tell them about the country’s heroes and the important events of the past. “Earlier, they inquired about the Rizal Monument,” she said. “It’s good for them to learn history at an early age.”

The children had a lot to look back to; it was, after all, 100 years of Philippine history. The festivities commemorated the day when Filipino revolutionaries, led by then-president Emilio Aguinaldo, declared the country’s independence from Spanish colonial rule in Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898.

 

A 42-float parade depicted the country’s history during the celebrations at Quirino Grandstand, which was witnessed by then-president Fidel Ramos, vice president and president-elect Joseph Estrada, members of government, the diplomatic corps, and other guests.

 

One float featured a life-size caravel, which showed the arrival of the Spanish colonizers in 1521 led by explorer Ferdinand Magellan. A mock battle was performed reenacting the Battle in Mactan between Magellan and the island’s natives.

 

The 300-year Spanish colonial rule was portrayed in the succeeding floats. It showed the country’s conversion to Christianity, the people’s enslavement to serve the Spanish empire’s economic needs, the revolts against colonial rule, the period of nationalist enlightenment, and the bloody revolution that it brought forth.

At the apex of the parade, a two-story replica of the Aguinaldo Mansion slowly made its way along the parade grounds. On the balcony, actor Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., an actor who starred in numerous action movies, played the part of President Aguinaldo.

With a solemn expression, Revilla held the flag from a long pole as he stood along with two other actors, Dante Rivero and Juan Rodrigo, who read the Declaration of Independence. When the declaration was read, he slowly waved the flag to the cheers of spectators wearing farmer costumes.

He then went downstairs, walked out of the mansion with the flag, and went up the stage to the awe of government dignitaries. As the drums rolled, Revilla handed the flag to Ramos, who then raised it with one hand before planting it on a stand at the stage.

Ramos had reenacted the same event from the balcony of the Aguinaldo Mansion in Kawit, Cavite, earlier that day.

In his speech during the celebrations, Ramos addressed the crowd. “Today, we have grown into the responsibility and the glory of nationhood. We are prepared to account for ourselves in the global community. We have begun to make our own history.”

“We, Filipinos, are rejoicing in our coming of age — in the final proof of our ability to understand, to use, and to protect the liberty our heroes won for us a century ago,” he said.

The celebrations culminated with a military parade that showcased our armed forces’ might, including a fly-by of Air Force jets. The evening was capped by a 30-minute fireworks display at Manila Bay — the largest and longest the country has seen — in the colors of the republic: red, white, yellow and blue.

2 years, 5 months and 1 day after the country celebrated its centennial; on November 13, 2000 the House of Representatives impeached President Joseph Estrada for the first time.

When the Senate failed to convict the impeached president, he was toppled through yet another show of mass protests at EDSA. 

 

 

The nation put into power its second woman president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, whose term was marred by three coup attempts and allegations of corruption and electoral sabotage.

On Dec. 9, 1985, the first issue of the Philippine Daily INQUIRER rolled off the press with its banner story— “It’s Cory-Doy”. It didn’t even have a slogan, and so atop its masthead was a kicker: ‘A slogan? Help us write one and win a prize.’ The maiden issue, all 30,000 copies, sold out at P2 each.

The country’s paper of record, the Inquirer has chronicled the country’s history over the last quarter century. From the 1986 Edsa Revolution, the Inquirer was at the forefront of covering major upheavals, momentous events and powerful stories that changed the course of the nation’s history.

From the installation of Aquino’s widow Corazon Aquino on February 25, 1986, to her death on August 1, 2009 that led to the election of her only son Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III as President on June 30, 2010, Rodrigo “Rody” Duterte on June 30, 2016 and Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. on June 30, 2022; from the unforgettable visits of Pope John Paul II in February 1981 and January 1995, and Pope Francis in January 2015, to the devastating earthquakes in Baguio, Cabanatuan and Dagupan on July 16, 1990, in Batangas on April 8, 2017, in Zambales on April 22, 2019, in Abra on July 27, 2022, in Negros on February 6, 2012, in Bohol on October 15, 2013, in Bogo, Cebu on September 30, 2025, the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in June 1991 and Taal Volcano from January 12, 2020 to March 31, 2022 and the horrific Supertyphoon “Yolanda” in November 8, 2013; from the Senate vote to end the US military bases agreement in September 1991, to the Centennial of Philippine Independence on June 12, 1998 when the Inquirer first published in full color and celebration of the new millennium on December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000.

 

ABS-CBN would reopen only on September 14, 1986 after a popular rebellion toppled Ferdinand Marcos and brought to power Corazon Aquino, the widow of slain opposition senator Benigno Aquino, Jr.

Unequalled in its courageous reporting, the INQUIRER played its watchdog role in the ouster of the corruption-plagued administrations of Joseph Estrada and the ascendancy of his successor, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

To get back at the Inquirer for its exposes on his involvement in corruption, Estrada instigated an ad boycott against the paper on July 3, 1999 that lasted five months. The Inquirer survived on support from its loyal advertisers and readers who sent encouraging letters and even donations to keep the INQUIRER going.

Estrada was removed from the presidency on January 20, 2001 through a popular revolt now known as “EDSA Dos” and was replaced by Macapagal-Arroyo, who was vice president at the time.

It resulted in the Second EDSA People Power Revolution or EDSA 2, hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the historic EDSA shrine to call for Estrada's resignation after he was accused of amassing ill-gotten wealth and fund diversion.

On Jan. 19, police and military forces withdrew their support from Estrada. 

At around noon on Jan. 20, Davide swore Estrada’s constitutional successor Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo into office.

A few hours later, Estrada and his family fled Malacañang.

Ousted president Estrada waves goodbye as he and his family leave Malacañang on January 20, 2001.

The Supreme Court on March 2, 2001, upheld the constitutionality of Estrada's resignation in a unanimous 13-0 decision in Estrada vs. Desierto.

In April 2001, when Estrada was arrested his supporters protested and messed up what would be called EDSA 3 or EDSA Tres which lasted nearly four days. 

In May 2004, Arroyo won the election and finished her full second 6-year term on June 30, 2010.

Estrada was convicted for plunder on September 12, 2007 and was sentenced to life in prison but was granted pardon by Macapagal-Arroyo on October 26, 2007.

On March 24, 2008, her youngest daughter, television presenter and actress Kris Aquino, disclosed that former President Corazon Aquino was diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

Fashion becomes less a spectator sport when sport itself becomes the fashion. 

Last Thursday, July 31, 2008, Inquirer Lifestyle staged the rousing, filled-to-the-bleachers (despite the heavy rains and flooding) curtain-raiser to its Lifestyle Series of events with “Fitness.Fashion,” a catwalk team-up between some of the country’s top designers and best-selling activewear brands, at the Rigodon Ballroom of the Peninsula Manila in Makati City.

THERE WAS A STORM, just like now, when INQUIRER Lifestyle held its first fashion show in 2008. It was raining cats and dogs, and traffic was getting snarled around The Peninsula Manila, the fashion show venue. We were getting texts inquiring if the fashion show would push through or not, given the nasty weather and flooded streets and horrific traffic. 

With prayer on our lips and faith in our hearts, we did push through with “Fitness.Fashion,” the collections of the Philippines’ foremost designers inspired by the fitness lifestyle that mostly everyone was into. The Peninsula Rigodon Ballroom was SRO that night.

Fitness.Fashion was a fitting start to the annual fashion show series that INQUIRER Lifestyle would stage from then on. 

Co-presented with Samsung, it drew guests who cut across the fields of fashion, business and commerce, arts, media and entertainment. With the support of HSBC and Peninsula, the show had 12 sought-after designers melding their creations with the latest brand collections: Kipling with Vic Barba; Fila with Lulu Tan-Gan; Nike Golf with Anthony Nocom; Speedo with Louis Claparols; Adidas with Patrice Ramos-Diaz and Rhett Eala; Marks & Spencer with Arcy Gayatin; Aigle and Oxbow with Rajo Laurel; Bench with Joey Samson; and Puma with Ivarluski Aseron and Randy Ortiz. (Read the fashion report in this Friday's Lifestyle Fashion and Beauty.)

The exceptions of the articles about the INQUIRER Lifestyle Series: Fitness.Fashion with Samsung fashion show from the said newspaper were:

• "Personalities like Senator Pia Cayetano, Waterfront GM Marco Protacio, jewelry designer Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez and socialite Amparito Lhuillier were among the big names who gamely participated in the event." - from "A dynamic, eclectic 2008", Apples Pickings by Apples Aberin Sadhwani, published in the December 26, 2008 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

• On its first anniversary — held at Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila on July 31, 2009 — their major guest stars were Bianca Araneta; Julia Clarete; Cheryl Cosim; Daphne Osena; Pia Guanio; Kenji Marquez; Derek Ramsey; JM Rodriguez; and Audrey Tan-Zubiri. But they managed to give away prizes to the live audience — mostly refrigerators. The high point of the event was when the cast members released doves — plenty of them. The second anniversary was even less memorable and nobody remembers it practically.
• "Then, in June 2010, it put into power the son of democracy icons that ignited the 1986 People Power Revolution.

 

While the country enjoyed relative economic growth and the administration enjoyed record approval ratings, it faced lingering problems concerning corruption, a communist rebellion, insurgencies in Mindanao, and prevailing criminality. Now there are people clamoring for a return to authoritarian rule and impunity under the convoluted premise of instilling discipline in a society allegedly made corrupt by its democratic principles – as if our current problems are the result of our freedom to choose, instead of our flawed choices. With these developments, one must ask: “Have we, as a nation, really come of age?”

Now there are people clamoring for a return to authoritarian rule and impunity under the convoluted premise of instilling discipline in a society allegedly made corrupt by its democratic principles – as if our current problems are the result of our freedom to choose, instead of our flawed choices. With these developments, one must ask: “Have we, as a nation, really come of age?”

The show turns 37, a feat, indeed. “Eat Bulaga!” is the country’s longest-running noontime program on television and the bond created within their circle has made it possible for them to stick it out through the years.

“We enjoy each other’s company, dabarkads eh, it’s the true meaning of dabarkads na one family kayo, na hindi mo napapansin ang trabaho while you’re at it,” said Vic.

From a small group of five hosts when it was launched, “Eat Bulaga!” grew to a family of 18 whose members see each other six days a week with the goal of putting a smile on the faces of its viewers.

“We cater not just to the entertainment needs of the viewers but generally to the need to make them happy, make them complete,” said Jenny Ferre, the show’s creative head behind the phenomenal “Kalyeserye” segment.

If there is a formula to it, T.A.P.E., Inc. President and CEO Antonio Tuviera credits the show’s endless pursuit to keep up with the ever-changing taste of the viewers.

“We always try to be relevant to our audience,” he said. “Every time we try to do innovations, it’s not really something original. Akala mo (lang) parang bago pero it’s something na medyo at the back of their minds, ‘Parang kilala ko ‘to, pero parang mas masaya na siya ngayon, parang bago.’”

One might think the emergence of digital technology (with online downloads and webcasts galore) would mean bad news to mainstream media. But for “Eat Bulaga!” it’s good news. Social media has made it possible for the program to widen its reach beyond “mula Batanes hanggang Jolo” to the far corners of the world. The record-breaking 41 million tweets on AlDub, the accidental love team of heartthrob Alden Richards and dubsmash queen Maine Mendoza, for its “Tamang Panahon” special attests to this.

To accommodate more live audiences, the show will soon move to its new studio in a 3,000-square-meter property in Cainta, Rizal.

Here’s one more secret to their success.

“While the others are entertainment shows disguising themselves as public service programs, ‘Eat Bulaga!’ is the opposite: it is – and has been – a public service program disguising itself as an entertainment show,” Tuviera said. “Everything that we do, every new segment we introduce is always created in the light of public service.”
