Filipinos should still commemorate the 1986 EDSA People Power revolution even though its anniversary this year was not listed as a holiday by Malacañang, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) said yesterday.
According to Ian Christopher Alfonso, officer-in-charge of the NHCP’s research, publications, and heraldry division, Filipinos should remember and honor the uprising that ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and forced his family into exile.
