Sheila Coronel

Sheila S. Coronel, a PANORAMA staff stalwart, reporting on the state of the media during these times said: it was a year of ferment, and change, of old problems made more oppressive by the new throbbing beat of the times.” For journalists, it was a year loaded with libel charges, lawsuits and seditious trials which they gallantly bore as harassment suits. She began reporting in the Philippines during the twilight of the Marcos dictatorship, when she wrote for the underground opposition press and later for mainstream magazines and newspapers. As Marcos lost power and press restrictions eased, she reported on human rights abuses, the growing democratic movement and the election of Corazon Aquino as president.

POST-EDSA REVOLUTION (1986-1995)

:https://pin.it/6x5Wy4L

The Philippines was praised worldwide in 1986, when the so-called bloodless revolution erupted, called EDSA People Power’s Revolution. February 25, 1986 marked a significant national event that has been engraved in the hearts and minds of every Filipino. This part of Philippine history gives us a strong sense of pride especially that other nations had attempted to emulate what we have shown the world of the true power of democracy.

The true empowerment of democracy was exhibited in EDSA by its successful efforts to oust a tyrant by a demonstration without tolerance for violence and bloodshed. Prayers and rosaries strengthened by faith were the only weapons that the Filipinos used to recover their freedom from President Ferdinand Marcos’s iron hands. The Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) stretches 54 kilometers, where the peaceful demonstration was held on that fateful day. It was a day that gathered all Filipinos in unity with courage and faith to prevail democracy in the country. It was the power of the people, who assembled in EDSA, that restored the democratic Philippines, ending the oppressive Marcos regime. Hence, it came to be known as the EDSA People Power’s Revolution.

The year 1986 demarcates the beginning of new scene in the unfolding narrative of contemporary Philippine Literature. The fall of President Marcos's dictatorship, was a prolific event for different Filipino writers and group. Writing under the Martial Law Regime was characterized by militancy and belligerence even when it showed up in legal press.

The Filipino people reclaimed their independence, which they had previously lost. The so-called People Power (Lakas ng Bayan) won on February 21-25, 1986, over the course of four days. There have already been a number of changes in the short time original the Republic of the Philippines has existed. It was noted in recent Filipino songs, speeches, newspapers and even television shows. The INQUIRER, MALAYA, and the PEOPLE'S JOURNAL were the nowcrony publications that experienced a spike in circulation overnight.
