20 speeches that moved a nation: an audio bookThis ground-breaking audio book project brings back to life twenty of the most significant speeches in Philippine history, representing some of the most thrilling and shameful moments in our nation’s life.

With the creative collaboration of some of the country’s leading artistic talents, this history-making project aims to achieve bringing the past to life in order to pave the way for a richer understanding of where we came from and where our country should aim to go.

Directed by Peque Gallaga, and including the voice talents of stage and screen personalities such as Zeneida Amador, Janno Gibbs, Eric Quizon, Bart Guingona, Tessie Tomas, among many others, the project features the speeches of National Heroes such as Jose Rizal, Emilio Aguinaldo, Andres Bonifacio; of Presidents Sergio Osmena and Manuel L. Quezon; of noted nationalists Lope K. Santos, Claro M. Recto and Francisco “Soc” Rodrigo; of heroic resisters of the martial law dictatorship Fr. Pacifico Ortiz, SJ, Felixberto Olalia, Sr., Chino Roces; and even revolutionaries such as Jose Ma. Sison, not to mention the sly rhetoric of Ferdinand Marcos and Joseph Estrada. “Twenty Speeches that Moved a Nation” was launched on September 7, 2001 at the RCBC Plaze with Executive Secretary Alberto Romulo; Senate Majority Leader Loren Legarda-Leviste; Cesar Virata; Mr. Enrique Zobel as Guests of Honor, and representatives of many of the distinguished personalities included in the collection.
