EDSA People Power Revolution Anniversary 2019 and 2020

On February 25, the anniversary of the EDSA People's Power Revolution was held in the Philippines. It was held in 1986 and commemorates a peaceful demonstration that led to overthrow of the corrupt control of President Ferdinand Marcos

Note: Since 2010, EDSA people's power revolution anniversary was Philippine school vacation. This means that both public and private schools are closed and the business is still open. In the past few years, February 25 was a work holiday, but today the closest Monday to the date is a school holiday.

The revolution was also known as the "Huang Revolution" and "EDSA Revolution" as protests of the former protestor and the city Epiphaniros Ros Santos Avenue were held. A celebrated demonstration on this day was the culmination of the riot caused by assassination of opposition senator Benigno Aquino (Jr.) that began in the beginning of 1983, and the influence of Marcos which is widely believed to be the end of the election It was operated to maintain. At the time these were the biggest non-violent demonstrations in the world and they succeeded in defeating a repressive dictator without getting a drop of blood.

Today, in celebration of the democratic recovery of the Philippines and the "surprising surge of the world" celebration, celebrate the people of the EDSA People's Revolution. Despite some efforts in historical revisionism, Marcos' s name was synonymous with corruption.

There are few people who are involved in defeating Marcos from outside the capital, so some people condemn the revolution as an example of "Imperial Manila". Indeed, the vast majority of the power revolution festival is held in and around Manila, which means that all people living outside the capital can not be criticized by the Manila Empire.

Many people gathered at the EDSA, wearing yellow clothes, attending nearby concerts and church worship, celebrating the People's Revolution in commemoration of the 1986 event. The party that caused the revolution was called "LABAN", meaning "fight", the crowd had L letters, gathered at EDSA and showed support. Television and other media report this incident a lot every year, and there are a lot of 1986 documentary and general patriotic programs.

The People's Power Revolution (also referred to as the EDSA Revolution and the 1986 Philippine Revolution or EDSA 1986) was a series of popular demonstrations in the Philippines held in Manila mainly from February 22 to 25, 1986. Civilian resistance to regime violence and ongoing campaign against suspicion of election fraud. The nonviolent revolution brought the end of dictator Ferdinand Marcos's 21-year totalist rule, and the recovery of democracy in the Philippines.

In the 1986 EDSA People's Power Revolution, the majority of its concepts were very important as it was contrary to that term. Unlike the 2001 revolution, it was the first true "human power" revolution because it involves nationwide collective actions of different colors in the social and political realm. And since Marcos eroded all domestic democratic systems and counterfeited the democratic process of government change, Filipinos had no other legal resources to abolish dictatorships such as impeachment and elections I understand.
