Inquirer Lifestyle Series Fitness Fashion 12th Anniversary (2020)

From then: Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon and Coney Reyes on Eat... Bulaga!

Now: Senator Pia Cayetano, former Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino general manager Marco Protacio, jewelry designer Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez and socialite Amparito Lhuillier at Inquirer Lifestyle Fitness Fashion with Samsung.

In the run-up to the 34th anniversary of EDSA 1—the people power revolt that preceded EDSA 2 or the January 2001 ousting of then President Joseph Estrada—two words sum up the flurry of social media rants of netizens: “Duterte Resign.”

From the installation of Aquino’s widow Corazon Aquino on February 25, 1986, to her death on August 1, 2009 that led to the election of her only son Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III as President on June 30, 2010 and Rodrigo “Rody” Duterte on June 30, 2016; from the unforgettable visits of Pope John Paul II in February 1981 and January 1995 for the 10th World Youth Day, and Pope Francis in January 2015, to the devastating earthquake in July 1990, April 2017, April, July and October 2019, the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in June 1991 and the horrific Supertyphoon “Yolanda” on November 8, 2013; from the Senate vote to end the US military bases agreement on September 16, 1991, to the Centennial of Philippine Independence on June 12, 1998 when the Inquirer first published in full color and celebration of the new millennium on December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000.

ABS-CBN would reopen on September 14, 1986 after a popular rebellion toppled Marcos and Corazon Aquino, the widow of slain opposition senator Benigno Aquino Jr. brought to power.
