Walang permanenteng tagumpay, at wala ring permanenteng kabiguan. Pagkatapos ng aklasang EDSA, maraming nagising. Marami rin ang muling natulog.

Pagkatapos ng rebolusyon, hindi natapos ang rebolusyon. Pang-apat na tula sa ikaapat na araw ng EDSA, serye ng berso para sa EDSA-40, mula sa sinulat ni Ruth Elynia S. Mabanglo, dakilang makata ng bayan na, tulad ni Lacaba, Popa, at Sunico, hinahangaan ng Constantino Foundation.

Kapag nabasa mo itong sinulat ni Ramon C. Sunico, maiisip mong para sa kasalukuyan ang ikaapat na tula sa serye para sa EDSA40. Totoo, parang mas kailangan natin itong dasal ngayon: Nag-uumapaw ang ngitngit sa mga kawatan.

☕ Tertulia-Inspired & Non-Partisan **Pandesal Forum** You are invited to a morning of meaningful dialogue — where ideas are shared as warmly as freshly-baked pandesal & brewed coffee. This session shall discuss a pivotal chapter of Philippine history 🗓 Date: Tuesday, 24 February 2026

Ikalawang tula mula kay Allan Popa sa isang linggong serye ng berso bilang paggunita sa ika-40 anibersaryo ng aklasang EDSA. Nagsimula nang dumagsa ang mamamayan. Tanging armas na bitbit – tapang, galit, dasal, at pag-ibig sa tinubuang bayan.

Isang tula kada araw bilang pagninilay-nilay sa ika-40 taong anibersaryo ng aklasang EDSA. Ang unang tula para sa unang araw ng pag-aaklas ay mula kay Jose F. Lacaba, dakilang manunulat, lubos na minamahal na makata, at makatang tinitingala ng Constantino Foundation.

The nation will soon mark the 40th anniversary of EDSA, a time of simplicity, complexity, and mythmaking. Four days before the Snap Election of February 1986, Renato Constantino wrote insights in the fortnightly paper WE Forum that deserves our pause today:

The Snap Revolution: A Post Mortem The past is always present, but often concealed or costumed. Letizia Roxas Constantino wrote this in March 1986, less than a month after EDSA:
