When We Forum closed down, Malaya was transformed into an English newspaper. After the 1986 People Power revolution ousted Marcos and democracy was restored in the country, Burgos sold Malaya to veteran journalist Amado P. Macasaet, who was at that time the paper’s business editor.
Nang isara ang We Forum, ang Malaya ay ginawang pahayagan na Ingles. Pagkatapos ng 1986 People Power revolution na nagpatalsik kay Marcos at nanumbalik ang demokrasya sa bansa, ibinenta ni Burgos ang Malaya sa beteranong mamamahayag na si Amado P. Macasaet, na noon ay business editor ng pahayagan.
