STATEMENT OF SEN. CHIZ ESCUDERO ON THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF EDSA I PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION

As we commemorate the 30th anniversary of the People Power Revolt today, we remember with great humility the nameless heroes and heroines of this shining chapter in our history.

So many events have unfolded since February 25, 1986. So many have analyzed and interpreted this memorable part of our contemporary history. History is both beautiful and bizarre, if not ugly.

Let us promote and uphold the beautiful lessons learned from it, notably the grassroots participation in governance and the people-center policies.

Let us try to correct the bizarre components, error and mistake committed along the way of our long difficult and complicated quest to build a better, more compassionate, and more inclusive society and nation for all Filipino people.

Mabuhay ang mamamayang Pilipino! Tayong lahat ay mga bayani sa makabagong kasaysayan na ating binubuo ngayon.
