Camarillo said he was inspired by comments from viewers to continue showing his “magnificent awesome photographs” and continue presenting our history like what the students of FEU Institute of Technology said. 

“It’s nice to see how our fight for democracy are shown through these pictures, like a short movie film that depicts exactly and accurately what really transpired before. We hope that this kind of visual presentation will continue year after year so that younger generations will have the true knowledge what the Edsa revolt meant for the Filipino people and the world that adopted it,” he said.
