4/13. The Philippines. How has life changed for ordinary Filipinos since more than a million of them marched on Manila 20 years ago this week? When they overthrew the dictator Ferdinand Marcos their hopes were high, but in 2006 the Philippines is still desperately poor, and corruption and nepotism are rampant. In this special, two Filipino journalists offer their unusual take on the parlous state of the economy - by visiting Manila's shopping malls and shanty towns.
Producer Rosie Goldsmith Repeated on Monday at 8.30pm See also The People's Revolution at 8pm
