ICYMI: Manila Mayor Isko Moreno sought to refresh the people’s memories about the 1986 People Power revolution, saying that when the country got united, it was not led by politicians but by the people themselves.
“Let me refresh your memory, hindi naman ito matagal na panahon.No’ng nag-unify ang taumbayan, ‘di ba napatalsik ang diktaturya.Sino ba ang nag-unify do’n?Hindi mga pulitiko, taumbayan, lumabas ng kalsada, nagpunta sa EDSA,” he added.
Moreno insisted that the People Power Revolution — which was an inspiration worldwide that a peaceful revolution is possible through mass organizations — was truly led by people, although some parties claim ownership to it. In addition to that, the local chief executive said that the situation in 1986 and in the upcoming 2022 national elections looks similar.
“Taumbayan ‘yon, inaako lang ng iilan.Pero taumbayan ang lumabas, napagod ang tao.Pagod na pagod ang tao noon, ngayon ‘yan din ang nararamdaman ng tao, pagod na pagod na ang tao,” he explained.“Wala kasing kasiguraduhan eh, hindi mo mapanghawakan, eh biruin mo puro na lang kyaw-kyaw, puro na lang salita,” he added.
Moreno figured in unity talks led by Robredo before the filing of certificates of candidacy. But the talks eventually fell, all candidates that Robredo talked to — from Moreno to Senators Manny Pacquiao and Panfilo Lacson — all sought the presidency.A day after announcing her own candidacy, Robredo revealed that the reason why the unity talks failed was that there were differences in key issues, which made it impossible for her to yield to other candidates.
