Iloilo to mark 36th People Power anniversary with freedom countdown
The Province of Iloilo will commemorate the 36th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution on February 25 with a Freedom Rally and other activities.
Governor Arthur Defensor Jr. issued Executive Order No. 2022-165 to lead the commemoration, which aims to remind people of the historical event, especially the younger generation.
Activities include a Freedom Countdown, a People Power Noise Barrage, and a Freedom Caravan.
The Freedom Countdown is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. and conclude at 9:25 p.m., the precise moment the Marcos family departed the Philippines in 1986.
