The document summarizes key events of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution in the Philippines. It describes how Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and Armed Forces Vice Chief of Staff Fidel Ramos declared their defiance of President Ferdinand Marcos at Camp Aguinaldo on February 22nd. Cardinal Jaime Sin rallied thousands of Filipinos to support the rebels through radio broadcasts.
