Move On: A Rappler film about the legacy of the EDSA Revolution

MANILA, Philippines – How can one truly “move on”?

The date is February 22, 1986. What they thought would be just a regular afternoon turns out to be a pivotal moment for the country.

A discussion overheard from an editor’s room. A stern, commanding voice from a familiar church figure, calling people to act. These were just a few signs that a movement was brewing along one of the Philippine capital’s major thoroughfares. 

Listen to the stories of Chito Dela Vega, then a newbie reporter working 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 Carmel Abao, then a student leader who spent most of her weekends aiding detainees.

Forty years later, these three veterans from the 1986 EDSA People Power Movement reunite for a discussion with Gen Z actor Jerom Canlas about the power and promise of protest.
