TownHall-Fail

It was Angela, the nanay, who kept asking me all afternoon Thursday what time Solar News’ Town Hall was going on air. On the night of Ninoy Aquino’s death anniversary, the show was asking the public: What is the Aquino legacy to you?

Entitled Ninoy Cory Noynoy: Three Shades of Yellow, this episode of Town Hall might have had everything going for it, including guests like Rene Saguisag and Christian Monsod. But as the first minutes of the show became about how the panel of guests felt when Ninoy was assassinated, I realized this was like every other shallow discussion we’ve had on Ninoy, EDSA 1986, and the Aquinos for the last thirty years.
