1986 Edsa Revolution People Power

People Power Revolution

The People Power Revolution (also known as the EDSA Revolution and the Philippine Revolution of 1986) was a series of nonviolent and prayerful mass street demonstrations in the Philippines that occurred in 1986. It is sometimes referred to as the Yellow Revolution due to presence of yellow ribbons during the arrival of Ninoy Aquino. These protests were the culmination of a long resistance by the people against the 20-year running authoritarian regime of then current 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 200,000 Filipino civilians as well as several political, military, and religious figures, such as Jaime Cardinal Sin. The protests, fueled by a resistance and opposition of years of corrupt governance by Marcos, occurred from February 22 to 25 in 1986, when Marcos fled Malacañang Palace to the United States and conceded to Corazon Aquino as President of the Philippines.

[loenapink]

Noon naiiyak ako pag sini-celebrate ang Edsa rev. Ngayon naiiyak pa rin ako kase mula ng mangyari ito mas dumami ang mga mangmang sa pinas.Nawala ang takot ng mga masasamang loob na gumawa ng kahayupan.Tumaas ang koryente.Naging basurahan ang kapaligiran. Nawala ang disiplina ng mga tao.At naging napakaliit natin sa paningin ng ibang bansa.Kakaiyak po talaga no?
