Iginiit ni Liberal Party President at Albay 1st district Rep. Edcel Lagman na isang legasiya ang EDSA People Power I Revolution na dapat umanong depensahan ng mga Pilipino laban sa mga nagbabaluktot at nagrerebisa ng kasaysayan.
Sa isang pahayag nitong Linggo, Pebrero 25, nakiisa si Lagman sa paggunita ng ika-38 na anibersaryo ng 1986 EDSA Revolution.
“The EDSA Revolution was not a brilliant spark of a spontaneous moment. It was the culmination of an emboldening momentum spanning fourteen (14) long years of struggle and sacrifices of Filipino patriots who steadfastly and courageously opposed and rejected the atrocity, repression, and profligacy of the Marcos Sr. martial law regime,” pahayag ni Lagman.
Ayon pa sa pangulo ng Liberal Party, ang EDSA raw ay hindi isang pag-aalsa ng mga “elite” kundi isang popular na mapayapang rebolusyon ng masa at ng panggitnang uri.

“It was the ouster of a dictator, not through the force of arms, but impelled by the collective determination and irrevocable resolve of Filipinos to regain freedom and democracy,” giit ni Lagman.
“It is an enduring legacy which Filipinos must cherish, defend, and uphold against the malevolence of historical distortion and revisionism, and the importuning of those who would attempt the repetition of an inordinate aberration,” saad pa niya.
Noong Pebrero 25, 1986 nang maibalik muli ng mga Pilipino ang demokrasya sa bansa matapos nilang patalsikin ang rehimen ni dating Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Sr. sa pamamagitan ng mapayapang EDSA revolution.
