RENE CIRIA CRUZ

An Exile's Tale

Nearly 20 years ago, writer and activist Rene Ciria Cruz joined thousands of Filipinos on San Francisco's Union Square where they danced, sang, cried and popped champagne bottles. They were celebrating the fall of Marcos. There was only one problem -- they had only one song for the party and they played it over and over again. Find out which one in Part 1 of a three-part podcast. Also, listen to Rene's thoughts on the current crisis in the Philippines.
Rene is an editor at New California Media and at Filipinas magazine.
