00:00Various groups celebrated the 36th anniversary of the 1986 People Power Revolution.

00:06According to some experts, the declaration of this anniversary as a special working holiday

00:12is a simple way to cover up the history of the country.

00:16It was denied by the Palace.

00:18Maki Pulido has a report.

00:24These students were not yet born in 1986.

00:28But they are among those who went to the People Power Monument.

00:31EDSA is not a street.

00:33EDSA is for every Filipino.

00:35And the democracy that we are facing now is because of the EDSA.

00:39EDSA is a reminder of our unity.

00:43We should do this every year.

00:46More people would have gone if the non-working holiday was held on February 25.

00:52But some schools and universities suspended classes

00:55or only held online classes as a reminder of history.

00:59Like the University of Dallas, which received a yellow light in front of it.

01:03Some groups did not only call for EDSA's help, but also called for it.

01:07We are one!

01:10We are one!

01:13Before, there were programs here that were hosted by high-ranking government officials.

01:18This is no longer the case.

01:20From a special non-working holiday to a special working holiday.

01:25Today is February 25.

01:27For some experts, this is a step to reduce the importance of the 1986 People Power Revolution.

01:35It will be more open to wider reinterpretation, even distortion, of what has been already settled.

01:43As far as the law is concerned, the historical record is clear.

01:46The dictatorship happened, and as a result, there were human rights violations that occurred.

01:52Reparations were dispensed from the ill-gotten wealth that was sequestered.

01:57Historical distortion can also mean impunity.

02:02Those who were in office in the past or in the present have no responsibility.

02:09They can do whatever they want to uphold the rights of the people.

02:16The President has no right to change history.

02:20Since the time he became President, we have not heard any stoppages of any events,

02:27any activities that can commemorate the event.

02:31Some members of the Aquino family were brought to Tarlac City for the EDSA People Power Revolution.

02:37At the same time, the reopening of the Aquino Center and Museum after two years of renovation,

02:42the book about former President Noy-Noy Aquino was also released.

02:46Macky Pulido reporting for GMA Integrated News.
