What the kids say about Edsa I
“... A snap election is made. Corazon Aquino... is declared as the President of the Philippines and Marcos as the President of Malacañang. Corazon Aquino is the first President girl of the Philippines.” (Fact: Marcos was declared winner of the snap elections, which led to the revolt because most people believed Corazon Aquino was elected President.) “[Edsa I] was about fighting against the government during the occupation of Marcos ... [Without] Edsa, are we safe in the hands of a cruel President?” Iisa lamang ang naghahatid ng balita sa mamamayan, puro pabor pa kay Itinatago nila ang mga maling ginagawa nila.” Kung wala ang People Power
hindi tayo makakacomputer, hindi makaka- at hindi makaka- Pinakita ng na maaari na nating husgahan ang hindi karapat-dapat sa puwesto.” “Edsa shows the Philippine spirit, teamwork, industry and mostly the fear of God.” Noong panahon ng
maraming tao ang nasaktan at nasawi.” Dapat maalala [dahil] napatalsik ang opisyales na di naman karapat-dapat na gaya ni Upang maging malaya ang mga Pilipino sa pamumuno ni dating Pangulong at mapatigil ang na kung saan ipinagbawal ang... pag-uwi ng huli sa gabi.” “Papaano kung inaabuso na tayo... tutunganga na lamang ba tayo at aasa na lamang na parang aliping sunod-sunuran?” “Tila nabunutan ng tinik sa lalamunan ang mga Pilipino sapagkat nakamit ang kalayaan.” Tinatag ang People Power
para sa mga Pilipino na nagluluksa sa pagkamatay ni
[Ito ay] bilang pagalaala sa yumaong Presidente.” (Fact: The revolution was staged to put Cory, who was widely acknowledged as the duly elected President, in power. She died in 2009, 23 years after Edsa 1.) Upang patalsikin si... dahil sa ginawang pandaraya kay (Fact: It was Ninoy’s wife, Cory, who was cheated in the snap presidential election.) Ang kapangyarihan ng pamahalaan noon nasa iisang tao lamang... ngayon ang kapangyarihan ng pamahalaan nasa taong bayan na.”
Ang ay ang tanda na kung saan ang mga buwaya ay nakahiga sa malagintong upuan at nagpapakasarap na nakahiga sa pera samantalang ang mga Pilipino nagpapakahirap at dugo’t pawis inaalay sa ating bansa...”
High school students
“We revolutionized a way of getting peace ... It was to practice peace itself.” “The celebration of Edsa can help officials reminisce the time when... democracy overpowered a ruler. The celebration can encourage lawmakers to exercise well-executed justice in cases like the pork barrel scam.” “Other countries took notice [of the country], even the United Nations, which ignored the Philippines being a totalitarian regime...” “Marcos made every person an idiot and ignorant on issues.” Sayang ang isang araw na pagaaral ng mga bata at produktibong araw sa opisina ... Ito ba talaga’y para sa lahat o nagbubulagbulagan lang tayo sa pagmamanipula ng angkan ng
sa atin?”
Wala rin namang pagbabagong nangyayari, abala lamang para sa iba... Wala nang pakialam ang mga tao at inuunang tugunan ang mga pangangailangan.” “Natural lamang na gunitain ng bansa sa pamumuno ni ang kabayanihan ng kanyang ama at ina... pagpapakita ng respeto sa kanila at pagmamahal bilang anak sa tinuturing na magulang ng mga Pilipino nang panahon ni Kung sino pa ang may ginagawang kadakilaan para sa bayan, siya pa ang napapahamak ... Nais nilang
ipaghiganti ang mga Pilipinong namatay para sa bayan.”
