25th Anniversary of the People Power Movement in Manila


President Aquino took part in the reinactment

The mother country is free again.

February 25th 25th celebration of the People Power Movement


This Friday will be the commemoration of the overthrow of the Marcos regime. It is quite a story and I won't go into it here, but there will be quite a celebration and speeches etc. regarding this event in history. Notice on the statue that people were locking arms and not holding guns as they overtook the existing government of 1986.

The office will NOT be closed on Friday the 25th even though the traffic will be heavy. This statue is on the corner of White Plains and Edsa where the revolution took place. I downloaded these pictures from the Internet as it is difficult to get close to it with traffic and all for a picture. For more information please google the People Power Movement.
