Villegas urges students to uphold EDSA People Power legacy

Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas urged students to uphold truth, fight injustice, and remember the peaceful uprising that changed Philippine history on the 39th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution.

Villegas underscored the significance of the revolution as a moment of glory for Filipinos, emphasizing the youth's crucial role in preserving democracy by remembering unity, courage, and the pursuit of freedom.

The archbishop described the 1986 event as a social revolution driven by Catholic faith seeking justice, highlighting that it was about faith making peace without violence or bloodshed.

Villegas encouraged students to search for the truth themselves, urging them not to forget the lessons of EDSA People Power and to resist those who want to revise its historical chapter.

He also called on Filipino youth to celebrate this 'holiday of the nameless millions of Filipino heroes of 1986' by staying engaged in national issues and upholding integrity.
