Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse M. Robredo on Thursday enjoined all local officials, including those of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution in their respective localities.

Robredo said he sent directives to provincial governors, city and municipal mayors and village officials.

In a memorandum circular, Robredo informed local government officials that the year’s EDSA People Power celebration will be held from February 17 to 27, 2011, with February 25th as the special event day.

Malacañang has declared February 25 as a special holiday for all schools nationwide.

To commemorate this remarkable occasion on the local level, Robredo urged local chief executives to undertake activities that adequately reflect the theme of this year’s celebration, “Tatak EDSA 25: Pilipino Ako, Ako Ang Lakas ng Pagbabago.”

These activities include flag-raising ceremony, bell-ringing, ecumenical prayers, symposium on the principles and values of the EDSA prayerful and peaceful people power revolution, medical missions, tree-planting, and public display of yellow buntings or flags. = PNA
