House of Representatives Minority Leader Nonoy Libanan believes that the spirit of the EDSA People Power Revolution remains strong 39 years after the historic event.
“The spirit of EDSA lives on in our democratic institutions and in our daily lives,” Libanan said.
“Since EDSA, and because of EDSA, we have been able to freely elect our national leaders.”
“Since EDSA, and because of EDSA, we have been able to freely elect our national leaders—from the President down to local officials—while upholding the principles of democracy and good governance,” the veteran legislator added.
“In fact, in just a few weeks, we will be holding the May 12 midterm elections, giving every Filipino the opportunity to freely choose our representatives in Congress and local government,” the seasoned lawmaker emphasized.
He also stressed that the core values upheld by EDSA—transparency, accountability, and respect for human rights—remain relevant today as the nation continues to safeguard its democracy.
