'Those who committed crimes against Filipinos before EDSA revolt should be held accountable' — Mayor Isko

Presidential aspirant and Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso on Friday, Feb.25 said those who committed crimes and abuses against the Filipinos before the 1986 Edsa People Power Revolution should be made accountable.

“While it is true na gusto nating mamuhay sa kasalukuyan, at magsama-sama, magkaisa, work together to build back better for the future of our children, hindi naman natin ikikibit-balikat yung mga nag-abuso at namerwisyo ng kanyang mamamayan. Kung sila ay merong akusasyon o merong mga kaso, we as a state must pursue those cases to give justice to the victims, whether it is abusing power, corruption, or maybe up to the point, mga pumatay sa mga tao noong araw (While we want to move forward, join hands, and unite, we can't set aside the abuses against our people. The cases against them should be pursued, particularly the killing of our people),” Domagoso said before he went on a motorcade in Gen. Mariano Alvarez, Cavite on Thursday, Feb. 24.

“Para matahimik naman ang mga kaluluwa nung mga biktima, dapat managot yung dapat managot sa ilalim ng batas (For those who were killed to finally find peace and justice, the perpetrators of these crimes should be made answerable under the law). But again, we will not forget, we will continue to remember, and we will always give value to the Filipino people. That’s why they call it the People Power,” he added.

Domagoso reminded the youth to bear in mind the lessons of EDSA People Power Revolution.

“In the case of EDSA 1986, I think it’s worth na maalala lagi ng mga kabataan na ang kapangyarihan ng pangulo ay nanggaling sa tao. Tao ang nagbigay, tao din ang babawi. I think that’s the most important lesson of the EDSA 1 Revolution. At yun ay ginaya, naging huwaran sa buong mundo so bagay lamang na ito’y paulit-ulit nating ipaalala at kilalanin at isalin sa mga susunod na salin-lahi to remind that everyone na huwag tayong mang-aabuso sa kapangyarihan kasi mag-aalimpuyo ang tao, magagalit ang tao (The youth should always remember that the power of the president emanates from the people. The people give this power, they can also take it away. We have become a role model for democracy in the world because of what happened in EDSA. Everyone should remember that any abuse of power will be met with force by the people,” Domagoso said during a recent campaign sortie in La Union.

The EDSA revolution was the culmination of the Filipino people’s struggle to put an end to the Marcos dictatorship which started with the declaration of Martial Law in 1972.
