Welcome to Part 2 of our season finale feature special. Today we will talk about Leticia Jimene-Magsanoc, one of the founders of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, where she was editor-in-chief from the mid 90’s to 2015. But before that, she fearlessly worked on telling the Filipinos the truth about what was happening in the nation in the time when journalism was strictly controlled by the regime.
