Handog Ng Pilipino Sa Mundo
BackThis is the definitive video that captured the mood of EDSA1 or the People Power Revolution of 1986. When this was shown on TV a few months after the revolution, people were quite touched. However, it's stint on TV abruptly ended after award winning director Mike De Leon pulled it out because Manoling Morato of the MTRCB had decided to censor the part where the pictures of the dictator and his wife were being slapped by the people. A lot of EDSA veterans saw the censoring as a sign that the new dispensation was 'watering down' its commitment to the ideals that people fought for and was already succumbing to the call of 'reconciliation' by the Marcos loyalists. We may all have our disappointments regarding EDSA. Nevertheless, here is the video which to me captures the purity and the idealism of the time , at least before the politicians started to fail us. Notice that Mike De Leon situated the EDSA1 revolution to the overall struggle of our independence which began before the American occupation.
