Contemporary
Times
When
the Marcos' administration ended because of the first PeoplePower revolt,
the press was once again freed. There was an influx of periodicals which
was a result ofthe repression. As forthe case of Manila Times, Ramon Roces
decided to revive the paper on January 1986, registered under hisgrandson,
Alfredo R.
Guerrero. He also brought back La Vanguardia Publishing Co., Inc. which
was for his other grandson, Ramon R. Davila. The newspaper came out February
5, 1986 with his cousin, Joaquin
"Titong" R. Roces as editor-in-chief. The Manila Chronicle was re-established
with publisher Joaquin "Chino" Roces
and editor Amando Doronilla. The weekly, We Forum, also emerged with Jose
Burgos as its publisher. Present day newspapers such as Philippine
Daily Inquirer, Philippine
Star, Manila Standard and even Business World were born during those
times.
