The People Power Revolution, also known as the EDSA Revolution, enables the Philippine populace to oust president Ferdinand Marcos after two decades of authoritarian rule. The uprising was sparked by widespread discontent stemming from Marcos's corrupt governance, inefficiency, and the controversial election in 1986 that many believed was rigged to favor him over his principal opponent, Corazon Aquino. On February 22, 1986, a crucial turning point occurred when military leaders defected to the side of the opposition and called on the public to support the movement against Marcos. The atmosphere became charged with hope as millions flocked to Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Manila, forming a human barricade to prevent Marcos's military from suppressing the uprising.Over the next few days, the number of supporters swelled amid a backdrop of prayers, chants, and songs, reflecting the movement's peaceful nature. Key figures such as Cardinal Jaime Sin and other church leaders rallied the people, further galvanizing support for Aquino. As Marcos's regime continued to lose soldiers and resources, he and his family made the choice to flee to Hawaii, effectively ending his rule. Thus, Corazon Aquino was inaugurated as the first female president of the Philippines, symbolizing a new era of democracy and governance in the country, amid vows of reform and transparency.
