Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton

February 25, 1986 marked a significant national event that has been engraved in the hearts and minds of every Filipino. … It was the power of the people, who assembled in EDSA, that restored the democratic Philippines, ending the oppressive Marcos regime. Hence, it came to be known as the EDSA People Power’s Revolution.

The People Power Revolution was a series of popular demonstrations in the Philippines, mostly in the capital city of Manila from February 22–25, 1986. There was a sustained campaign of civil resistance against regime violence and alleged electoral fraud.
