People Power

The People Power Revolution (also known as the EDSA Revolution and the Philippine
Revolution of 1986) was a series of popular nonviolent revolutions and prayerful mass street
demonstrations in the Philippines that occurred in 1986, which marked the restoration of the
country's democracy. It became a subsequent inspiration for the Revolutions of 1989 that ended
communist dictatorships in Eastern Europe. It is sometimes referred to as the Yellow Revolution
due to the presence of yellow ribbons during the arrival of Benigno Aquino, Jr. These protests
were the culmination of a long campaign of civil resistance by the people against the 20-year
running authoritarian, repressive regime of then president Ferdinand Marcos and made news
headlines as "the revolution that surprised the world".

The majority of the demonstrations took place at Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, known more
commonly by its acronym EDSA, in Quezon City, Metropolitan Manila and involved over
2,000,000 Filipino civilians as well as several political, military, and religious figures, such as
Cardinal Jaime Sin. The protests, fueled by a resistance and opposition of years of corrupt
governance by Marcos, occurred from February 22–25, 1986, when Marcos fled Malacañang
Palace to the Hawaii and conceded to Corazon Aquino as the legitimate President of the
Philippines.
