Bakas in the Filipino language means print, mark, trace, trail or vestige. This blog, then, records all those that left their marks or my impressions on anything under the sun :)

Feb. 25, 2008 (Monday) Is a Special (Non-Working) Day

Feb. 25 is special day nationwide to mark 22nd Anniversary of EDSA
People Power Revolt


President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo issued today Proclamation No. 1462
declaring Feb. 25, 2008 (Monday) as a Special (Non-Working) Day
throughout the country in connection with the observance of the 22nd
anniversary of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution.

The theme of this year's celebration is "Kapayapaan at Pagkakaisa
Tungo sa Kaunlaran!"

"Whereas, the historic event, which restored and ushered political,
social and economic reforms in the country, serves as an inspiration
to Filipinos everywhere as we continue to chart our collective course
as a nation and as a people, it is fitting that the entire Filipino
nation be given the opportunity to observe this milestone in our
country's history."
