Discover the intriguing accounts and hidden truths behind the historic EDSA People Power Revolution that shaped the Philippines.

The EDSA People Power Revolution of 1986 marked a pivotal moment in Philippine history, with Cory Aquino being sworn in as the new president amidst protests against Charter Change. As Filipinos commemorated the 38th anniversary, the legacy of EDSA was pondered by the youth and calls for unity resounded. Former senator Gregorio Honasan II, a hero of the uprising, urged an end to political bickering, emphasizing the need for harmony. Amidst concerns about dwindling interest in EDSA, the Liberal Party voiced out fears of history being rewritten.

Reflecting on the revolution, the Marcos political dynasty's influence remains evident, with 16 elected officials linked to the family under the Marcos Jr. administration. Sister Cho Borromeo, an 80-year-old nun, shared her firsthand experience of EDSA, revealing the personal narratives of those who participated. Despite challenges, groups across the Philippines continue to oppose any rewriting of history and advocate for preserving the true essence of EDSA People Power.

In a twist of fate, although EDSA no longer carries the weight of a public holiday, its significance continues to resonate among the Filipino populace. The spirit of unity and conviction from the revolution remains a beacon for the nation, reminding all of the power of collective action in shaping the course of history.
