After a long battle with cancer, June Keithley-Castro died on November 24. An icon of the 1986 EDSA revolution, Keithley fought the Marcos dictatorship, hosting Radio Bandido that aired protests against the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.”There, in the isolation of a radio studio, together with two brave children, she spoke truth to power for 14 hours, heedless of the danger of contesting the media apparatus of the dictatorship,” said Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda.
