EDSA @ Forty!
On September 21, 1972, Proclamation No. 1081, plunged the Philippines into Martial Law. Congress was shuttered. The press was silenced. Thousands of Filipinos—students, journalists, priests, and ordinary citizens — were imprisoned, tortured, and disappeared.
But God was not silent.
From February 22–25, 1986, millions of Filipinos—workers, teachers, farmers, fisherfolk, youth, and people of faith—gathered along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue in the peaceful EDSA People Power Revolution. In four extraordinary days, nearly twenty years of authoritarian rule came to an end, and democratic governance was restored.
Forty years later, the call of EDSA resounds. A call to remember what happens when Filipinos stand together in faith. A call to remain watchful—because the freedoms won on that avenue were paid for dearly, and can be lost quietly. A call to raise a generation of Filipinos who fear God, love their neighbors, reject corruption, and serve this nation with integrity, sincerity, and compassion.
As we mark this milestone, we pray for our beloved Philippines — that we would be a people who embody what EDSA showed the world: that genuine democracy, rooted in faith and lived out in love, is worth protecting with our lives.
Passion for God. Passion for the Philippines. Compassion for the Filipino Poor.
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance."
— Psalm 33:12
