  • Who were our Filipino leaders, trailblazers, and innovators before we looked up to them? A student working as a bus mechanic. A child with a stutter, bullied by her peers. A resistance fighter against the Japanese, who was captured and tortured.

    We hear their stories in Bago Ang Lahat. A podcast by Youth Leadership for Democracy, or YouthLed, a program implemented by the United States Agency for International Development and The Asia Foundation. Powered by PumaPodcast.

    Jun 24 2022

His sister, Dr. Penny Bundoc, and executive assistant, Atty. Nina Rances, tell us about the man who believed that "yielding power to the people" was among his greatest achievements.
