The People Power Revolution, also known as the EDSA Revolution or the February Revolution, was a series of popular demonstrations in the Philippines, mostly in Metro Manila, from February 22-25, 1986. There was a sustained campaign of civil resistance against regime violence and electoral fraud. The nonviolent revolution led to the departure of Ferdinand Marcos, the end of his 20-year dictatorship and the restoration of democracy in the Philippines. It is also referred to as the Yellow Revolution due to the presence of yellow ribbons during demonstrations (in reference to the Tony Orlando and Dawn song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree") following the assassination of Filipino senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. in August 1983 upon his return to the Philippines from exile. It was widely seen as a victory of the people against two decades of presidential rule by President Marcos, and made news headlines as "the revolution that surprised the world". The majority of the demonstrations took place on a long stretch of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, more commonly known by its acronym EDSA, in Metro Manila from February 22-25, 1986. They involved over two million Filipino civilians, as well as several political and military groups, and religious groups led by Cardinal Jaime Sin, the Archbishop of Manila, along with Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines President Cardinal Ricardo Vidal, the Archbishop of Cebu. The protests, fueled by the resistance and opposition from years of governance by President Marcos and his cronies, culminated with the absolute ruler and his family fleeing Malacanang Palace to exile in Hawaii. Ninoy Aquino's widow, Corazon Aquino, was immediately installed as the eleventh president as a result of the revolution. Though sometimes described as a peaceful revolution, the People Power Revolution coincided with more militant and violent revolutionary movements that had formed during the Marcos dictatorship, namely the communist CPP-NPA-NDF rebellion and the Muslim independence movement of the Moro National Liberation Front.
The Assassination Of Ninoy Aquino occured on August 21, 1983, on the apron of what was then Manila International Airport, Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., a former Philippine senator, was assassinated with a gunshot to the head. Aquino, a longtime opponent of President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., had just returned from three years of self-imposed exile in the United States, and was being taken to a vehicle which would return him to prison. Also killed was Rolando Galman, accused of murdering him. In 1967, Aquino was elected to the Philippine Senate. As a Senator, he was sharply critical of Marcos. In 1972, shortly after martial law was declared by Marcos, he was imprisoned on falsified charges; he was only released in 1980, when he had a heart attack. He spent the next three years near Boston before deciding to return to the Philippines. Aquino's assassination is credited with transforming the isolated opposition to Marcos into a national crusade, and, in tandem, with thrusting Aquino's widow, Corazon Aquino, into the spotlight. In 1986, Marcos called a snap presidential election. Corazon Aquino was a candidate, and though she did not win, she became President anyway when Marcos, concerned by the ensuing People Power Revolution, resigned, and fled the country. Although it is widely believed, including by his family, that Aquino was assassinated on the orders of Marcos, this has never been conclusively proven. An investigation instigated by Marcos shortly after the assassination resulted in 25 military personnel and one civilian being charged with murder; all were acquitted by the Sandiganbayan (special court). A second investigation, during the presidency of Corazon Aquino, led to a retrial of 16 military personnel, all of whom were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment by the Sandiganbayan. The Supreme Court affirmed the decision, and rejected later motions by the convicted soldiers for a retrial. One of the convicts was subsequently pardoned, three died in prison, and the remainder had their sentences commuted at various times. The last convicts were released from prison in 2009, the same year in which Corazon Aquino died.
