The Angat Kabataang San JoseΓ±o (AKSJ) respectfully calls on the Local Government Unit of San Jose del Monte, the province of Bulacan, and all universities, colleges, and schools in our city to suspend classes on February 25, declare it a local non-working holiday, or implement an Alternative Learning Mode (ALM) in commemoration of the EDSA People Power Revolution.
As we mark another year since the peaceful uprising that restored democracy in our country, we believe that remembrance is not optionalβit is a responsibility. February 25 is not merely a date in history; it represents the courage, unity, and collective action of Filipinos who stood together to defend freedom and democratic institutions.
At a time when historical truth must be safeguarded and civic participation must be strengthened, providing space for students, educators, and school personnel to meaningfully commemorate EDSA is an essential act of democratic commitment. Suspending classes or shifting to alternative learning arrangements will allow the academic community to participate in forums, discussions, community activities, and other initiatives that deepen understanding of EDSAβs relevance to present-day challenges.
Educational institutions are not only centers of academic instruction; they are vital spaces for cultivating critical thinking, civic responsibility, and active citizenship. Observing February 25 as a day of reflection and engagement affirms our shared duty to uphold truth, accountability, and people-centered governance.
We urge our local leaders and academic institutions to stand with the youth in honoring this historic milestone. Let us ensure that the spirit of unity and people power continues to inspire future generations in San Jose del Monte.
Honor history. Defend democracy. Never forget.
