On the last week of February in 1986, more than 2,000,000 civilians, as well as political, military, and religious figures flocked to Epifanio de los Santos Avenue. It would come to be known as the People Power Revolution as Filipinos braved tanks and stood vigil in the streets to reclaim their democracy. Here are photos from the EDSA People Power Revolution.
