Larawang ginawa ng AI

Habang lumalapit ang ika-40 anibersaryo ng 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, mga lider at opisyal ang nagpapahayag ng kanilang pananaw sa legacy nito sa gitna ng patuloy na hamon tulad ng korupsyon at hindi pagkakaisa. Isang third-generation Aquino ang nagbahagi ng pag-asa at baggage ng rebolusyon, habang ang AFP ay nangako ng neutralidad sa mga protesta. Ang mga pagdiriwang na ito ay nagpapaalala ng spontaneong pagkakaisa na humantong sa pagbagsak ng diktadura ni Marcos Sr.

Noong Pebrero 23, 2026, inilabas ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) isang pahayag na nagpapatunay ng kanilang non-partisan na paninindigan habang naghahanda ang bansa para sa mga pagdiriwang ng ika-40 anibersaryo ng EDSA Revolution. Ayon sa AFP, 'The AFP remains firmly committed to its mandate as a professional and non-partisan institution. We do not engage in political activities and remain focused on our core mission of securing the sovereignty of the State and the integrity of the National Territory.' Nananatiling prayoridad ng Philippine National Police ang pagpapanatili ng kaayusan, ngunit handa ang AFP na tumulong kung kinakailangan, habang iginagalang ang karapatan sa mapayapang pagpupulong.

Sa isang interbyu sa Rappler, nagbahagi si Kiko Aquino-Dee, apo nina Ninoy at Cory Aquino at pamangkin ni Noynoy Aquino, ng kanyang pananaw sa legacy ng 1986 EDSA. Binanggit niya ang patuloy na problema tulad ng kahirapan, hindi pagkakapantay-pantay, korupsyon, at pag-aalinlangan ng mga Pilipino sa hindi natupad na pangako. Ang interbyu ay ipinalabas noong gabi bago ang anibersaryo, na nagbibigay-diin sa pag-asa na dala ng rebolusyon.

Sa isang editorial ng Rappler, tinalakay ang kakulangan ng pagkakaisa ngayon sa mga grupo na may historical ties sa EDSA. Ayon kay political scientist Aries Arugay, 'the fatal flaw of EDSA is that we took it for granted that our lives will be collectively better just because we kicked out one dynasty.' Binanggit din ni Dean Tony la Viña na 'EDSA is a long and wide highway' at 'EDSA 1986 was a spontaneous eruption of difference. It found common cause without asking permission.' Hinihikayat ang mga lider na maging halimbawa ng pagtutulungan laban sa korupsyon sa pamamagitan ng tunay na accountability at unity, na ginagawang mas makabuluhan ang awit na 'Magkaisa' pagkatapos ng 40 taon.

Ang mga pagdiriwang na ito ay nagpapaalala ng papel ng militar noong 1986, kung saan ang pag-aalsa nina Juan Ponce Enrile at Fidel Ramos, na sinuportahan ng Cardinal Jaime Sin, ay nagsimula sa rebolusyon.
