February 25 used to besomething. It was a day when we remembered the bravery of the Filipino people who stood together, unarmed but determined, to reclaim freedom. It wasn’t just a holiday; it was a reminder of what people can achieve when they refuse to be silenced. But today? It feels like just another regular day. Business as usual. Classes as usual.

Why Is the EDSA People Power Revolution Important?

Most schools have classes today. What used to be a day of commemoration has been reduced to a normal weekday because powerful people may have grudges against those who are remembered for EDSA. It’s strange, isn’t it? How something as monumental as people reclaiming democracy can be brushed aside, as if it never mattered.

I should be in class, but I’m not. I woke up with a migraine that pinned me to my bed, fighting my own little battle. If I didn’t feel like my head was splitting in two, I would have gone to class today. Not just for attendance, but because I want to be present. I want to keep the truth alive in whatever small ways I can.

The Legacy of People Power: Beyond Political Colors

I’m writing this because I don’t want to forget—and I don’t want anyone else to, either. The EDSA People Power Revolution wasn’t about political colors. It wasn’t about who was in charge or who wanted to be. It was about people’s lives. It was about courage. It was about standing up when things weren’t right. And that’s something we all need to remember, no matter who sits in power.

Why We Must Continue to Commemorate EDSA

I get it—life moves on. People get tired of hearing about the past. But some things should never be forgotten. The people who marched in 1986 did it not just for themselves but for all of us who came after. The least we can do is remember them.

So, here I am, stuck in bed, but still trying. Because remembering matters. Truth matters. And no one in power can erase that—not if we refuse to let them.
