As "the revolution that surprised the world", on 22 to 25 February 1986, over 2 million Filipinos took to the streets of Manila in an unarmed protest that would overthrow Ferdinand Marcos’ brutal 20-year dictatorship without fatalities.

The People Power Revolution ended the oppressive regime and over a decade of martial law, restoring a still fragile sense of democracy in the country.

"The harder work of revolutions comes after, and that it never ends."

2月25日、フィリピン各地でエドゥサ革命/ピープルパワー革命(EDSA People Power Revolution )の38周年を記念するデモ行進が行われた。エドゥサ革命により、フェルディナンド・マルコス大統領の独裁政権を倒し、アキノ政権を実現。今年の参加者は大統領の多選禁止を定めた1987年制定憲法の改正反対などを訴えた。
