Francis Joseph Aquino-Dee, grandson of the late senator Benigno Aquino Jr. and the late president Corazon Aquino, says on Feb. 24, 2026 that the 1986 Edsa People Power Revolution is why he is proud to be a Filipino and that commemorating Feb. 25 as a special non-working holiday for the rest of history will be a 'very big step' to sharing that pride. Also present was Mamamayang Liberal Rep. Leila de Lima who filed a bill aiming to declare the date as a regular public non-working holiday. De Lima said she could not understand why it was not made a holiday under the current administration.

00:00So, yung pia na tulayan natin palayahin ng ating mga saalit.
00:05Umamati siya ng pastang paraan na kaya natin
00:08kung malapis, kagip silang tao sa yung mundo.
00:11At maging kuwarang panahon na yun,
00:14pinipinas para sa milyon mundo para naging mas malaya
00:17kung itin on this democratic way.
00:18So, I think that's something that I'll tell you to be done and share.
00:24And I think, remember you think,
00:26marking it as a special model to collaborate.
00:29For the West, for the West, for the West, for the West, for the West.
00:32Which is a very big step in sharing that sort of pride.
00:36Sharing that pride of place, pride of country, pride of our people,
00:40and pride of our values with our relativity.
00:42And that's also something that we will commemorate
00:45in this coming February.
00:47But alongside that pride, I think I've been saying,
00:50I'm also mindful of respect.
00:52From that point, where we were the driving of the world,
00:57actually 1986, I think it's also fair to say,
01:00that we've since it's all started.
01:03And I think it's important to fall out for action
01:07where it's happening in the Harris government.
01:09I think the people power means that we,
01:11we ourselves, as citizens of a democratic country,
01:14have the responsibility to face the problems of this country headlock.
01:19We have the responsibility to connect with people.
01:21We have the responsibility that we can engage in progress,
01:24to have the responsibility to do,
01:26go in and volunteer in so that we can actually,
01:28when we see that there's something going wrong in this country.
01:31And I think that's also the implication to us,
01:33this federal identity,
01:34and every federal identity from this state.
01:36Thank you very much for it.
01:38And the greatest step to the end,
01:40like this, I think that we need to do is,
01:43speaking with you despite alongside so many other bodies,
01:46I think it's the perfect step forward for the challenges of that.
01:51It's not easy to be,
01:52it's not easy to live in a democracy,
01:54it's not easy to have to face so many different prices at the same time.
01:58But it's really important for us,
02:00and the people that we have to do is
02:03and the people that we have to do is
02:04and the people that we have to do is
02:10and the people that we have to do,
02:15and like with us,
02:15I cannot let something out of that
02:17I am not saying mess in here,
02:18this especially in and you can't do that too.
02:23And that's not all that,
02:25this is fine,
02:25I think they are all already cutting people?
02:30revolution with so many factors.
02:34James can't just wear it as well.
02:36But basically they are down to our own teams,
02:38who are at least in their own teams,
02:39who have toئ해도 much into the power world,
02:40they aren't even aware of the power of these and other roles,
02:43and that's why we're concerned about
02:45all that's where we can really take care of,
02:45This is so much progress that we have learned from our lives.
02:53So, lalo nais, I just said earlier, that the viral now is
03:00that the disinformation and historical revisionism is the same.
03:04So, ito is the fact that we have to be here.
03:07We have to be here to be here, to be here to be here, to be here to be here,
03:10to be here, to be here, to be here.
03:15for us and we shall probably not work in 20 minutes, but I'll be saying that.
