2. What is the greatest contribution of EDSA revolution in the Philippines and the world?
Why?

EDSA people power revolution greatly contributed on achieving our country’s

independence through bloodless war to the hands of the dictator that abused the human
rights and removed the voice of its citizens. In addition to that, it also enlighten our
minds that indespicable greed on power could destroy even the brightest person on
earth. For this enlightenment, we learn the morals of unity because if we raise our arms
together we can/will do all things in favour and with the help of God.

3. Are you in favour of president Duterte’s decision for granting Marcos burial at Libingan
ng mga Bayani? Defend your answer.

I am indeed in favour of our President’s decision to grant Marcos’ burial at

Libingan ng mga Bayani, because even though he is a nightmare to numerous victims of
his inhumane governing in his time, still he possessed the title of being the highest
official of our country thus, he did a lot of things in his early reign making our state to be
great and known as the “Pearl of the Orient”. In addition to that, It is included in our
tradition to burry a late president in this specific place of honour not to remember
his/her dark sides but to mourn for he owe gratitude for the service that he/she spare for
the country.
