The Quezon City government clarified its guidelines for assemblies and rallies planned on February 25 for the EDSA People Power Anniversary, emphasizing that citizens’ right to peaceful assembly is recognized under the Public Assembly Act of 1985.
The city reminded organizers that written notice or permits are required to ensure safety, coordination, and order, especially for activities in public areas.
February 25 is not a public holiday, and the city stressed the need to balance public access with planned demonstrations to avoid disruptions to work and school.
Quezon City approved the Trillion Peso March Movement and affiliated groups to hold activities within its jurisdiction, while events planned for the EDSA–Ortigas area were referred to Mandaluyong authorities.
The city also clarified that no group was denied permission based on political stance, and that carrying placards and freedom of expression remain allowed.
