The People Power Revolution is a series of Philippine History in 1986 and is  probably one of the most popular nonviolent and prayerful demonstration in the street and is also known as the Yellow Revolution due the presence of the yellow ribbons when Ninoy Aquino return back from the State. This unforgettable protest is also known as “the Revolution that surprised the world”, the demonstrations took place at Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Quezon City, and involved over 2,000,000 Filipino civilians as well as several politician, military, religious figures and well known personalities.

I was around 7 or 8 years old that time and every time I’m reminded about it the imprinted photograph in my memory was the crowd in EDSA and the sound that up to now is still mingling in my head “MAGKA-ISA”, “HANDOG NG PILIPINO SA MUNDO” as well as the tremendous shout of EDSA “People Power” these three significant has become a big part and symbols of our lives, EDSA revolution is not just a history but it is the meaning and true essence of being a Filipino, who will fight whenever they have to, and it is indeed proven many times, starting from the Spanish Colonist to Americans down to Japanese, the history of Filipino fighting for their right to live peacefully has already been part of our self.

"THE FILIPINO IS WORTH DYING FOR"
