People Power Revolution, or Philippine Revolution of 1996

The People Power Revolution (also known as the EDSA Revolution and the Philippine Revolution of 1986) is 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 are the culmination of a long resistance by the people against the 20-year running authoritarian regime of president Ferdinand Marcos and make news headlines as "the revolution that surprised the world".

The majority of the demonstrations take place at Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, known more commonly by its acronym EDSA, in Quezon City, Metropolitan Manila and involve 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, occur from February 22 to 25 in 1986, when Marcos flees Malacañang Palace to the United States and concedes to Corazon Aquino as President of the Philippines.
