	1986 EDSA Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The EDSA Revolution, also referred to as the People Power Revolution and the Philippine Revolution of 1986, was a mostly nonviolent mass demonstration in the Philippines.
		Some people have a problem with labelling this event a revolution; for many, a revolution is the violent overthrow of a reigning government.
		While the EDSA Revolution is almost universally acknowledged as a great example of democracy at work, many political scientists and sociologists have commented that the Philippines has largely failed to actualize the possible gains from a fresh change in government, including the new constitution.

		THE Filipino people have the distinction of demonstrating the other side of revolution — one that is peaceful and bloodless.
		This success of the Filipino people showed to the world that a powerful dictator can be unseated from his seat of power bloodlessly.
		We celebrate the People Power Revolution to preserve the historic lesson that entrenched power holders are no match for the will of the people.

	2001 EDSA Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2001 EDSA Revolution, also called by the local media as EDSA II (pronounced as Edsa dos) or the Second People Power Revolution, is the common name of the four-day popular revolution that peacefully overthrew Philippine president Joseph Estrada in January 2001.
		The EDSA II revolution is depicted on the 200-peso bill.
		The only means of legitimizing the event was the last-minute Supreme Court ruling that "the welfare of the people is the supreme law." But by then, the Armed Forces of the Philippines days ago already withdrew support for the president, which some analysts call unconstitutional and most foreign political analysts would agree.

	Philippines - From Aquino's Assassination to People's Power
		The People's Power movement, which bore fruit in the ouster of Marcos on February 25, 1986, was broad-based but primarily, although not exclusively, urban-based, indeed the movement was commonly known in Manila as the EDSA Revolution.
		Cardinal Sin, realizing that poor people would not refuse money offered for votes and that the ethic of utang na loob would oblige them to vote for the briber, admonished the voters that an immoral contract was not binding and that they should vote according to their consciences.
		Although Marcos held an inauguration ceremony at Malacañang Palace on February 25, it was boycotted by foreign ambassadors (with the exception, in an apparently unwitting gaffe, of a new Soviet ambassador).

	BBC NEWS \| Programmes \| From Our Own Correspondent \| Viewpoint: The cult of 'People Power'
		Starting in the Philippines in 1986 where the term "People Power" was coined, and taking wing in 1989 when a sea of people seemed to swamp the old guard communists in East Berlin or Prague, the myth of popular revolution took flight.
		People, all of The People, were socialised under the old regime and cannot escape from the reality that its grimy habits cling to them after its leaders and symbols have been toppled.

		She urged people to "experiment with nonviolent forms of protest" and declared: "...if Goliath refuses to yield, we shall keep dipping into our arsenal of nonviolence and escalate our nonviolent struggle." The revolution had begun.

		This week marks the 18th anniversary of the EDSA Revolution, or EDSA 1, as it has come to be known after the People Power manifestations of EDSA 2 and 3 - the one successfully deposing president Joseph "Erap" Estrada, the other unsuccessfully reaffirming his presidency.
		Estrada may have been a heavy drinker and womanizer, and frequent stories of indecent proposals and all-night drinking sprees at Malacanang may have scandalized the morally fastidious middle class, but, compared with the former dictator, his sins were venial.
		The placard "Erap's ouster is the people's will but Gloria is not the people's choice" captures the note of dissent, but reservations are set aside amid the euphoria of the moment.

		EDSA II, however, was neither a social revolution nor a military coup, but the combination of the two.
		More than that, this study tried to clarify the myth of EDSA II, in terms of “ the cause and effect of the revolution”, “the argument and examination of the revolution” and “the myth and discussion of the revolution”.
