After the burial of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng Mga Bayani, Malacañang said it will commemorate the anniversary of the EDSA People Power “with dignity.”

“The EDSA revolution has its own particular dignity,” Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said Thursday.

Asked how the Duterte administration plans to go about the commemoration of EDSA I, Abella said the people power revolution has its own “due honor,” noting that Malacañang has yet to release plans for February 25.

EDSA I commemorates the series of protests against the dictatorship of the late Marcos who was eventually ousted at the end of the relatively non-violent uprising. It restored the country's democracy and made headlines around the world.

On November 18, 2016, Marcos was buried at the Libingan ng Mga Bayani in what protesters described as “clandestine” and sneaky.”

President Rodrigo Duterte, an ally of the Marcoses, dismissed critics of the burial, saying the late dictator was buried at the heroes’ cemetery because he was a former soldier and president.
