President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. will review a proposal to declare February 25 each year as a regular holiday in commemoration of the EDSA People Power Revolution. The revolution peacefully ousted President Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. and restored democracy in the Philippines. Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro stated that the proposal will be studied once formally submitted to the President. "Just give us their versions to the President so he can study them," Castro said. In 2023, President Marcos moved the February 25 special non-working day to February 24, citing the economic impact of holidays. Castro noted that while businesses are affected by holidays, those wishing to commemorate the EDSA Revolution can still do so through events and remembrance activities.
