MANILA, Philippines — Former Sen. Gringo Honasan urged Filipinos not to let the 1986 People Power Revolution be “used to divide us.”
Honasan was among the key figures during the first Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (Edsa) uprising, leading the military through the Reform the Armed Forces Movement (RAM) to break away from the Marcos dictatorship.
“In our commemoration of the historic 1986 People Power, let this not be used again as a tool to further divide us as Filipinos,” Honasan said in Filipino in a video message on Tuesday, marking the 39th anniversary of the revolt.

“May this be a lesson for us as a living example that we’ll leave for the next generation of leaders and citizens so that we’ll dream together, come together, solemnly pray together, and work together toward a lasting peace, unity, and prosperity that we’ve long desired,” he added.
