The meaning of EDSA is a prophecy fulfilled. The word EDSA is an abbreviation of Efipanio Delos Santos, it is in fact a name of a person who was honored and consequently named after him a long stretch of road in Metro Manila. Apart from being name of a person, it has named, described and defined as well the future of our country, the Philippines.
Efipanio Delos Santos is a spanish word for Epiphany of the Saints. The word Epiphany is defined in dictionary.com as a mannifestation or an appearance, especially of a deity. while Delos Santos is interpreted as 'of the Saints'
Thus, EDSA, is in fact, means the Appearance or/and manifestation of the saints. The meaning of EDSA is its propechy and it is fulfilled by us.
We,the sealed servants of Mahal na Ingkong, covenant or throne of the saints of heaven constituting the one holy Church God the Holy Spirit founded, the Apostolic Catholic Church, not only fulfills the [hidden]Plan of God that of the union of that in heaven and that on earth but also the plan of God on this great nation. That great plan is to truly uplift and transform the Filipino people wholistically | holistically and restore in him its original glory and honor as the Lupang Hinirang.
The Lupang Hinirang, the Elected Nation, and Chosen Land of God the Holy Spirit, Mahal na Ingkong. This great nation is destined to become the light of the world where truth and justice reigns based in the teaching of Mahal na Ingkong. The nation where people of the world will come to learn how it is to govern the nation without compromising the words of God - spiritual government.
Thru our Church, headed by His Holiness Dr. Patriarch John Florentine Teruel PP, Mahal na Ingkong has started to move the essential pieces of our nation' great political and economical machine which was left clogged in decades of corruption and moral decay which left our people impoverished.
The great light shines and walks along the historic EDSA not by shouts of discontent and blasphemies for those who are currently seated in government rather by prayers and songs of praise to God and the blessed Virgin Mary for this great nation. The truest meaning of EDSA is fulfilled when our Beloved INGKONG and all of us walks on it, and show ourselves to our fellow Filipinoes. God and His saints are here and present in the Philippines; His church defines what it is to be a nation under God.
EDSA is an unforgettable part of our political and economic history. EDSA is used to be the place where political demonstrators and upheavals like EDSA 1 People Power where President Marcos was dethroned,EDSA 2 when President Estrada was dethroned unconstitutionally of an unfinished impeachment proceedings, and the unrecognized, not so advertised and mediaed EDSA 3 where once and again the Filipinoes gathered to restore President Estrada in presidency and dethrone Gloria Arroyo [who was entroned by EDSA 2] - the rest is history.
That is EDSA, the place where the cries and murmurs of the battered Filipinoes were expressed and prayed to be heard if not by those who are seated in government at least by God in heaven. And it was heard as the Hebrews of old when YHWH called Moses to liberate from bondage His people. God, Mahal na Ingkong, heard the cries of His people that is why from Sacrifice Valley in Bataan He wills that a place for us along the historic road of EDSA be for us a second home; so that people may see that despite of all the evils of our times - God and His saints can and still lives and walks on earth.
EDSA, the manifestation of the Saints.
