== == Why would we want to DESECRATE the memory of EDSA? This questions needs to be corrected. Desecrate means to violate or insult, let us not desecrate the memory of the People Power Revolution and the heroes who shed their lives so that the Filipino people could be free again.

Let us preserve and honor their sacrifices by becoming good and responsible citizens.
