EDSA PEOPLE POWER: The Greatest Gift for the Youth

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥.

This day is not just an event, it is a reminder that Filipinos will never accept oppression. Today marks the 40th anniversary of EDSA People Power, where unity transcended tyranny and once again freed our country. We didn't have guns, tanks, or any weapons, just hope that we can be free.

𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐧.

This day is also for the victims of Martial Law who dared to speak against totalitarianism, to the mother waiting for his son to come home but only his leg returned, to all the survivors who bear witness to their experience. May we honor their memory, thank you for the gift you've given us.

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐧.

It is not just about victory over dictatorship, but a triumph of democracy and solidarity as one nation.
