A Day of Reflection: Celebrating People Power for Nation Building
February 22-25, 2017

The Office of the President through the Office of the Executive Secretary and in coordination with the EDSA People Power Commission (EPPC) and the Spirit of EDSA Foundation, Inc. (SOEF), relives the spirit of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution through a line up of commemorative activities in its 31st anniversary from February 22-25, 2017.

With the theme, “A Day of Reflection: Celebrating People Power for Nation Building,” the celebration commences with a wreath laying and military honors at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Libingan ng mga Bayani on February 22, 2017. This will be followed by an open tour of the youth at the Malacañang Museum on February 23, 2017.

The highlight of the celebration is the Holy Eucharistic Mass and an awarding ceremony program by the EDSA People Power Commission (EPPC) on February 24, 2017.

In a press briefing prior to the commemoration, EPPC Vice President Joey Concepcion Jr. said that the EDSA highlight would take place on February 24 since people are expected to celebrate in various formats and expressions on February 25.

“Moving forward, my ambition is how we can continue to live on this spirit of EDSA… The challenge really is how do you make this generation continue to be inspired of what happened in 1986… We hope to continue to live up and really pass on the true meaning of EDSA to our children,” Mr. Concepcion mentioned in the press briefing.

The celebration concludes with a wreath laying and flag raising ceremony at the People Power Monument in EDSA on February 25, 2017.
