Our EDSA

Just like the traffic and gridlock of cars and pedestrians that have become a feature of this thoroughfare, the spirit of the people's bloodless revolution has been suspended in time, twisted and calcified. It is a monument to a dream that was deferred. Every year its cultists tortuously remind people of its promise and blame its failure on the past, deflecting the shame of their ineptitude. When all the preening and pageantry are over and the celebration has sufficiently caused even more suffering to the attendees and the commuters, their apathy and indifference to the country restarts.

It will be another year before we see yellow beribboned elites vainly attempting to mingle with the masses.

In the time of a Duterte government, we reclaim EDSA. We take back its spirit, its true meaning. We leave its concretized monuments and lies. We will start it fresh. We will find what we lost in the place where we began to dream again. We will gather in the Quirino Grandstand where the promise of a Duterte leadership gave the masses back its voice and trust in itself and its country.

We will support our president and his plans for a better Philippines by celebrating our democracy there. Come and join us as we make EDSA ours once again. Not the place. Its spirit.
