Even though tomorrow’s commemoration of the 1986 People Power Revolution might be subdued as what has been happening these past few years, it’s my firm belief that never shall the EDSA spirit be lost on Filipinos.
Indeed, no matter how that shining period in our nation’s history is observed, whether ceremonies are superb or simple and quiet, there will always be in each one of us the capacity to unite, sacrifice, rise up, and risk death for love of country.
Those four days in 1986 –February 22 to 25 – gave our country one of its proudest moments as international news headlines bannered the “bloodless revolution that surprised the world” and honored the courage of common folks and religious people to confront advancing tanks and troops, armed only with prayers, flowers, and food.
