In commemoration of the 2nd death anniversary of President Benigno "Noynoy Aquino III today, here is a clip of his very last participation at the annual EDSA People Power Revolution anniversary as President of the Philippines. Here he led the flag raising ceremony with the playing of the Philippine National Anthem, "Lupang Hinirang", in the presence of former President Fidel V. Ramos who was one of the leading figures of this momentous event in Philippine history.
The anthem was also sung during the revolution wherein in the next clip it was victoriously sung by unarmed civilians after the Marine tanks, sent by Mr. Marcos to disperse the crowd by force with orders to shoot, peacefully retreated from EDSA cor. Ortigas Avenue where the EDSA Shrine church now stands. This was in February 23, 1986.
