Why Evelio Javier is a hero
By ALEX C. DELOS SANTOS
CELEBRATION of People Power One is always preceded by a commemoration of the death of Evelio Javier, former governor of Antique.
The murder of Javier on Feb. 11, 1986 while overseeing the results of the snap election between then incumbent Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino, widow of the assassinated Benigno Aquino Jr., helped spark a bloodless revolution that brought democracy back to Filipinos.
