Pulitzer winner searches for faces of People Power
Pia Faustino, GMANews.TV

Between 1984 and 1986, Komenich and reporter Phil Bronstein from the San Francisco Examiner travelled to the Philippines numerous times to cover one of the world’s biggest stories — the events before, during, and after the 1986 People Power revolution.

During those years, Komenich took more than 20,000 photographs that would eventually become quintessential images of the world’s first bloodless revolt and earn him the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography. Reporter Phil Bronstein’s coverage of the fall of the Marcos regime was also a finalist for the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting.

Twenty-five years later, Komenich is 54 years old and back in the Philippines. But this time, he’s on a new assignment – to track down, interview, and photograph the people he photographed in 1986. The results of Komenich’s search will be assembled in “Revolution Revisited,” a documentary film about the 25th anniversary of People Power that will aim to tell the story of the Philippines, post-EDSA, through the individual stories of those who witnessed the revolution first hand.
