The Philippine Embassy and the Filipino Community in Poland celebrated the 28th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution with the theme “Kapit Bisig Tungo sa Pagbangon” last Sunday, 23 February 2014.
The event started with a mass officiated by Fr. Jaroslaw Tomaszewski followed by Inspirational remarks by Filcom President Mr. Alex Visalda.
Mr. Visalda said that the People Power Revolution instilled unity and nationalism in our country that made a mark in world history. We, Filipinos have shown that power should reside in the people who make up the nation and whose collective force was able to topple a dictatorship and restore democracy through a bloodless revolution.
A photo slide show was presented which showed images of the peaceful People Power Revolution in 1986. This served as an inspiration and a model for other countries to effect change through non-violent means. Another photo slide presentation showed how the Filipinos in Poland united as one during the time of crisis in the Philippines by pooling their financial resources for the victims of typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda.
