President Rodrigo Duterte sent a wreath of flowers to the People Power Monument on Saturday, anniversary of the 1986 EDSA Revolution.

The government had earlier said that this year's celebration would be more low key. The commemoration was held on Friday, instead of Saturday, and inside military headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, instead of at the monument.

Officials insisted they want to give Filipinos more time to reflect about the causes and effects of the historic revolution, and it's not because of Duterte's ties to the Marcos family.

Duterte skipped Friday's rites in Camp Aguinaldo, but sent Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea to deliver his speech.
