Commemorating People Power Revolution: Honoring Unity, Freedom, and Filipino Spirit
Every February, the nation comes together in remembrance — commemorating the People Power Revolution, a defining chapter in Philippine history that symbolizes courage, democracy, and unity. From Luzon to Mindanao, Filipinos reflect on the spirit of peaceful change that reshaped the nation’s future.
In Cagayan de Oro, this commemoration carries a special meaning. It’s not only a time to remember the country’s resilience but also to celebrate the same Filipino values that thrive in communities, schools, and even places like NHotel CDO — where unity, respect, and service echo the essence of People Power itself.
Understanding the Significance of the People Power Revolution
The People Power Revolution of 1986 was more than a political event — it was a movement that reminded the world of the Filipino’s strength in peaceful solidarity. The historic EDSA uprising united millions from all walks of life, proving that real change can come from compassion, courage, and a shared vision for freedom.
Today, as Filipinos across the country commemorate the People Power Revolution, they are reminded not only of the victory of democracy but also of the enduring responsibility to protect it.
Key Values Remembered Each Year
- Unity: Standing together for what is right.
- Courage: Facing challenges with conviction.
- Peace: Choosing nonviolence and dialogue over division.
- Service: Giving back to the community with integrity.
These values continue to inspire individuals, families, and organizations — including businesses like NHotel CDO, which uphold the spirit of Filipino service and unity through hospitality.
