Arnedo S. Valera, a chaired of the group US Pinoys for Real Change in the Philippines (USPRCP) held a prayer vigil rally in front of the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C.
“The spirit of EDSA should inspire Filipinos overseas that we are integral parts of the on-going change in the Philippines,” Valera said.
“We must remember that EDSA is not, and does not, belong to one political group or color, but to all Filipinos, including Filipinos overseas who fought for or support freedom and democracy. Now is the time for constructive engagement and to contribute to positive change in the Philippines. We should always be inspired by the heroism in EDSA.”
“We believe that winning the war against the illegal drug trade, and winning the war against the culture of corruption will go a long way towards winning the war against poverty, and vice-versa,” Valera pointed out.
“Despite the challenging global economic environment, the Philippines has achieved notable economic expansion, driven by the economy’s strong export performance and inflows of remittances that have bolstered private consumption.”
Among those present at the prayer vigil rally were USRPCP Co-Convenors Elizabeth E. Babiera read the messages of President Duterte, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and Police Maj. Kimberly Molitas.
“My administration has always believed in the power of the people to chart their own destiny, and establish a government that will put the people’s interests, especially the welfare of the poor and underprivileged sectors, as its topmost priority. More than a mere commemoration, now is the perfect time for all of us to reflect and objectively assess what we have lost and what we have gained as a nation since that historic event.” Duterte said in EDSA anniversary.
“President Duterte alone has the experience, has the leadership that is truly dedicated to the nation. Let us not waste this opportunity. Let us fight in a peaceful way those who want to destroy our President,” Lorenzana cited.
On the other hand, Molitas said: “Our prayer is that in the observance of these important days, all Filipinos unite in reflecting on this anniversary’s lessons on our nation. If we want to see that today’s generation of young people are assured of a bright future, let us be a part of the change being implemented by the government.”
