Filipinos should remember the gains of the 1986 People Power Revolution, President Rodrigo Duterte said in his message on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the event.
“As the entire nation prepares for the upcoming midterm elections this May, let us always remember how this historic revolution restored our power to collectively chart our future through the ballot. May we all have a profound sense of appreciation and understanding of what we lost and what we reclaimed,” said Duterte in his message Monday.
“I am hopeful that this occasion will inspire all of us, especially the younger generation, to deeply value the freedom and liberty that we won in EDSA. Let us never forget the sacrifice of those who came before us so that we may always be motivated to preserve and protect the democratic way of life that we enjoy today,” Duterte added.
The president said that through the historic event that happened more than three decades ago, Filipinos showed to the world that history can be rewritten without the need to resort to violent means.
