People Power at 40: Radio Veritas and its role in the revolution

BULACAN, Philippines – Catholic radio station Radio Veritas played a crucial role during EDSA People Power Revolution, airing the call of Jaime Cardinal Sin to stand up against the dictatorship of Ferdinand E. Marcos.

Sin’s appeal drew hundreds of thousands of people to EDSA, sparking what would become a historic, peaceful uprising.
