IT’S the 30th anniversary week of the non-violent people’s power “revolution” that toppled the cruel and bloody Marcos dictatorship in 1986. Ironically, the son and namesake of Ferdinand E.

If elected, he is only a heartbeat from becoming president should the president have health problems or resigns.
