Catholic schools across Mindanao are either suspending classes or will hold activities in commemoration of the 39th EDSA People Power on February 25, Tuesday, despite Malacañang not declaring it a holiday.
This year marks the 51st year since Ferdinand Marcos Sr. martial law on Septembef 21, 1972. In light of efforts by the Ferdinand Marcos Jr. government at revising historical judgement of the dictatorship, Kodao re-issues videos and other productions on Marcos’ martial rule in this special section of our website.

A four-minute video uploaded on a YouTube channel claimed the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. was the “true hero” of the 1986 EDSA People Power.
