Malacañang denied accusations that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is attempting to erase the EDSA People Power Revolution from history following public criticism over the removal of the February 25 holiday from the official calendar.
Palace Press Officer Atty. Claire Castro clarified that the administration has not blocked any events or rallies related to the anniversary. She dismissed allegations of historical revisionism, saying such claims are merely opinions.
The controversy arose after the EDSA anniversary, once a national holiday, was designated a special working day, meaning schools and businesses would operate as usual. Some schools still suspended classes, a move that Malacañang said they had no issue with.
Castro emphasized that the government is not preventing any commemorative activities from taking place. She reiterated that organizations and individuals remain free to hold events, rallies, and other activities to mark the anniversary.
