The document discusses the EDSA People Power revolution in the Philippines in 1986. Large crowds of Filipino citizens engaged in nonviolent civil resistance along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Metro Manila to protest alleged fraud in the 1986 presidential elections and to demand the resignation of President Ferdinand Marcos. The peaceful protests succeeded and resulted in Marcos resigning and fleeing the country, marking a significant event in Philippine history where civilian power was used to overcome a repressive regime.
