A float promoting a new film about the Marcos family rolled down Session Road in Baguio City during the restaging of the grand parade of Panagbenga, a day after the country celebrated the 37th anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution.
Earlier on Saturday, while everyone’s eyes were also focused on nine colorful street dancing groups who performed along downtown Session, 10 student activists, wearing flower tiaras, tried to draw their attention back to the commemoration of the bloodless revolt.
The English and Ilocano phrases “Never Again, Never Forget” were printed on the tiaras donned by the young activists, who wanted to remind the Baguio public about “the peoples’ struggle to oust the late dictator,” said Louise Montenegro, Kabataan’s Cordillera coordinator. “We all were changed by the Edsa Revolution in many ways and by many measures,” she told reporters, speaking in a mix of English and Filipino. “But I think the true lesson from Edsa is a real call to transform society.”
