Reli German, one of the founders of the August Twenty-One Movement and a pivotal strategist in the 1986 People Power Revolution, has passed away at the age of 86.

His granddaughter, Alex Castro, and the August Twenty-One Movement (ATOM) shared his passing, highlighting his role in shaping the revolution that led to the ousting of Ferdinand Marcos.

German was not just a witness to history but an active participant, contributing to the strategic planning that culminated in the success of the movement.

ATOM's statement emphasized his legacy as a foundational figure, coining the movement's acronym and leaving an indelible mark on Philippine history.

His death marks the loss of a key architect of the revolution, with ATOM mourning the passing of its founding pillars, including former Senator Agapito 'Butz' Aquino and Nick Santiago.

German's contributions extended beyond the revolution, as his work in public relations and strategic communication remains a testament to his impact on Philippine society.
