David Briscoe: Witness to Philippine Revolution

Veteran AP journalist David Briscoe, who chronicled the fall of Marcos and the birth of Philippine democracy, has died at 82 in Hawaii. His decades-long career took him from Utah to Manila, where he captured historic moments like Aquino’s assassination and the People Power Revolution — events he called the most significant of his life. A Peace Corps veteran, he later covered global affairs in Washington and returned to Hawaii as bureau chief, where he retired. His ashes will be scattered in the Pacific, honoring the land that shaped his legacy. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
