Today the Filipino people commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution, a series of popular demonstrations in the Philippines mostly in Metro Manila, from February 22-25, 1986.
The 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution aimed to peacefully overthrow the 20-year dictatorship of the late President of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos Sr., end systemic corruption and violence, and restore democratic institutions. Driven by massive, nonviolent protests along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, the goal was to unite citizens to reclaim their freedom and rights.
