People Power Revolution 1986
The EDSA Revolution also known as the People Power Revolution 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.
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.
The protests occurred from February 22–25, 1986, when Marcos fled Malacañang Palace to the United States and conceded to Corazon Aquino as President of the Philippines.
The acronym ESDA stands for Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, where the majority of the demonstrations took place.
