Roundtable Discussion on EDSA People Power 25th Anniversary





UNYAP NCR Members and Officers headed by its President Kristine Lacbayo of DLSU-Manila joined the Round Table discussion dubbed as "25para25" last Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at the Far Eastern University (FEU Manila) from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM.

25para25 is mounting a 25-week series of activities to commemorate the 25th anniversary of EDSA1, on 25 February 2011. The countdown begins this week and will climax in the final 5 weeks (starting week of January 23-29, 2011) prior to the actual anniversary date. All activities aim to recall the stories and values of EDSA1 with the goal of making it an inspiration in the present hope and effort for change in Philippine society. The project also hopes to give birth to a people’s movement that will remember and live out the spirit and values of EDSA 1 beyond the anniversary.

25para25 was launched through a mass offering held at the chapel of Rockwell Power Plant last September 8, 2010. On week 2, it aims to engage the youth and student sector through a roundtable discussion entitled: “Kbtaan_2d @Ppl Pwr EDSA1@25”. Moderated and co-organized by Aksyon Kabataan, a socio-political organization focused on youth development and leadership, this activity endeavours to tap into the current mindset of today’s youth leaders and appreciate their understanding of People Power. The proceeding’s output , other than being a source of information for potential publication, will also be submitted to the compendium and library of various institutions that aim to understand People Power including People Power Commission and Pinoy Power Institute.
