Also known as the “EDSA Revolution" ,“Yellow Revolution,” “Bloodless Revolution” and “1986 Philippine Revolution.”, the People Power Revolution was a culmination of a series of public protests against the oppressive and abusive dictatorial government and alleged electoral fraud committed by Ferdinand E. Marcos. Over 2 million Filipino civilians, as well as several political and military groups, and religious groups, gathered along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (more commonly referred to as EDSA) in Metro Manila from February 22 to 25, 1986. It was the first nonviolent, bloodless revolution that ever took place. Despite the presence of tanks and guns, no shots were ever fired.
