The Ateneo Human Rights Center (AHRC), in partnership with the Ateneo Law School (ALS), ALS Student Council (ALS SC), Ateneo School of Government Student Council (ASGSC), Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health (ASMPH), and Ateneo Graduate School of Business Student Council (AGSB SC) commemorated the 38th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution through series of activities including historical and art exhibitions at the Ateneo Professional Schools, Rockwell Center, Makati campus from February 21-23, 2024.

This year’s commemoration centered on reclaiming the narrative of the EDSA People Power as the story of the Filipino people who bravely fought for our democracy by toppling the Marcos dictatorship. Veronica Millado, External Vice President of AHRC Council of Interns and head organizer of this year’s EDSA commemoration, shared that the initiative is supposed to remind that EDSA is the Filipino people’s narrative and not about any political figure.

“Throughout time, the message of EDSA has been muddled through its association with the narrative of politician vs. politician.
