Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the President revived the EPPC to focus on the legacies of the two popular revolts that changed the country’s political landscape.

It is an unsalaried but rewarding job: one I understand as protecting a vision rather than a memory.

The EPPC is such a miniscule body that, the other year, the gods of the national budget completely forgot to appropriate money for its operations. This year, we will be working with a fantastic sum of P3 million. The major portion of that sum will be consumed for the commemoration of the 1986 Edsa Revolution.

The EPPC was a group formed by jailed President Joseph Estrada to institutionalize the celebration of the first people power uprising which ousted former President Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.

Ironically, the EPPC campaign, dubbed Daily Prayer for Peace and Justice, will commence on Jan. 16, the first day of people power II that led to Estrada’s ouster last year.
