The People Power Revolution

The People Power Revolution (also known as the EDSA Revolution, the Philippine Revolution of
1986, EDSA 1986, EDSA I and EDSA People Power) was a series of popular demonstrations in
the Philippines, mostly in Metro Manila from February 22–25, 1986. There was a sustained campaign
of civil resistance against regime violence and alleged electoral fraud. The nonviolent revolution led to the
departure of Ferdinand Marcos, the end of his 21-year presidential rule, and the restoration
of democracy in the Philippines.[4]

It is also referred to as the Yellow Revolution due to the presence of yellow ribbons during demonstrations
following the assassination of Filipino senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.[4] in August 1983. It was widely
seen as a victory of the people against two decades of presidential rule by President Marcos, and made
news headlines as "the revolution that surprised the world".[5]

The majority of the demonstrations took place on a long stretch of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, more
commonly known by its acronym EDSA, in Metro Manila from February 22–25, 1986. They involved over
two million Filipino civilians, as well as several political and military groups, and religious groups led
by Cardinal Jaime Sin, the Archbishop of Manila, along with Catholic Bishops' Conference of the
Philippines President Cardinal Ricardo Vidal, the Archbishop of Cebu. The protests, fueled by the
resistance and opposition from years of governance by President Marcos and his cronies, culminated with
the absolute ruler and his family fleeing Malacañang Palace to exile in Hawaii. Ninoy Aquino's
widow, Corazon Aquino, was immediately installed as the eleventh President as a result of the
revolution.[6]
