[𝗘𝗗𝗦𝗔 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲] The University of Southeastern Philippines joins the nation in commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution on February 25, 2026.

EDSA stands as a defining moment in our national history, when the collective action of the Filipino people affirmed the enduring values of democracy, constitutional order, and peaceful civic participation. Four decades later, its legacy continues to remind us that nation-building is a shared responsibility grounded in accountability, integrity, respect for human dignity, and the rule of law.

As a community committed to academic freedom, critical thinking, and public service, the University encourages everyone to reflect on the lessons of EDSA and translate them into responsible citizenship, informed dialogue, and active participation in strengthening our institutions.

May the spirit of unity, courage, and peaceful solidarity that shaped EDSA continue to guide the Filipino people toward a just, inclusive, and resilient future.
