The Aquino family calls to mind the courage and heroism of Filipinos during the historic People Power uprising in 1986 that eventually led to the restoration of democracy in the country.

In a message on Saturday, the Aquinos also expressed their conviction that the spirit of the EDSA 1986 still lives on in the hearts of Filipinos.

Meanwhile, former Vice President Leni Robredo said the revolution served as a "light" and inspiration for others to also attain freedom.

Spanning four days, from February 22 to 25, the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution ended the administration of the late President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

He was succeeded by the late Corazon Aquino, who served as president from 1986 to 1992. — with Jamil Santos/LBG/VBL, GMA Integrated News
