MANILA Thousands marched along EDSA to commemorate the 35th anniversary of people power uprising which toppled the Marcos dictatorship.
Protesters led by Bagong Alyansang Makabayan held a program in front of Camp Aguinaldo, headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, condemning what they called as Duterte’s tyranny.
In her speech, Anakbayan Spokesperson Jeann Miranda said that President Rodrigo Duterte has surpassed the record of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos when it comes to extrajudicial killings.
For human rights alliance Karapatan, remembering the legacy of the EDSA People Power uprising is “more urgent now with the Marcoses announcing their nefarious plans to further creep back to power and in the face of another murderous dictatorship under Duterte.”

I am a native son of Bulacan, the town of Sta. Maria to be more specific. So if I seem to be superfluous or excessive in the way I speak about the province, I hope you will forgive me.
There are so many things of interest about this province that can amaze even a true-bred Bulakenyo like me. History, culture, art, cuisine, language, agriculture you will never run out of topics when you dwell on Bulacan.
Many of us are already familiar about Bulacan’s place in our history. This is the birthplace of heroes such as Marcelo H. Del Pilar and Gen. Gregorio del Pilar. This is the site of the three Revolutionary Republics: the Kakarong Republic of 1896, the Biak-na-Bato Republic of 1897, and the Malolos Republic of 1899. I won’t dwell anymore on these historical facts because they have been told already too often.
