Over 70 Organizations Plan Protest Rally on EDSA Anniversary to Advocate for Social Justice

In a demonstration of solidarity and activism, more than 70 organizations are set to hold a protest rally on February 25, 2025, to commemorate the anniversary of the EDSA Revolution in the Philippines. The rally aims to draw attention to ongoing issues of social justice, human rights, and government accountability, reflecting the historical significance of the EDSA Revolution, which led to the ousting of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.

Organizers of the event have expressed their intention to honor the spirit of the EDSA uprising by addressing contemporary challenges faced by Filipino citizens, including corruption, inequality, and the ongoing struggle for democracy. The rally is expected to attract a diverse group of participants, including activists, civil society members, and community leaders, all united in their demand for reform and greater transparency in governance.

“We aim to remind the public and the government that the fight for social justice is far from over,” said a spokesperson for the organizing coalition. “This rally is not only a commemoration but also a call to action for all Filipinos to stand up for their rights and work towards a more equitable society.”

The protest is anticipated to take place at key sites in Metro Manila, with participants urged to wear symbolic colors to signify their commitment to the cause. As the anniversary approaches, the organizers are working closely with local authorities to ensure the rally proceeds peacefully and safely.
