Army Participates in 24th EDSA People Power Anniversary


FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila - The Armed Forces of the Philippines played a very crucial role in the fight for freedom and democracy during the People Power Revolution 24 years ago. The nationalism that the soldiers exemplified continues to be a source of inspiration to the soldiers of today in protecting the very freedom and independence that they, together with the whole Filipino nation, have fought for.

Today, the Philippine Army, together with the whole AFP, commemorates the 24th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution which kicked off with a Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila. No less than the Secretary of National Defense, Norberto B Gonzales graced the event. Among those present were EDSA People Power Commission (EPPC) Chair and Executive Secretary Eduardo R Ermita, AFP Chief Gen Victor S Ibrado, Army Chief Lt Gen Delfin N Bangit, EPPC Co-Chairman Christopher L Carrion, Taguig City Mayor Sigfrido R Tinga, and representatives from the PNP and the other major service units.

A Medical Mission immediately followed spearheaded by the AFP, PNP, EPPC and the DOH at the Philippine Army Officers Ladies Foundation School.

The Wreath-laying ceremony was the first of the week-long activities in celebration of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution. With the theme, "Diwa ng Edsa, Gabay sa Ating Kinabukasan," the EPPC has prepared various activities to be concluded with a People's Day on February 25. #
