EDSA (Epifanio de los Santos Avenue)

Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) is a major thoroughfare in Metro Manila, Philippines, stretching approximately 13 kilometers through the cities of Quezon City, Caloocan, Makati, Mandaluyong, and Pasay. It serves as a vital corridor for daily commuters and vehicles, connecting key business and residential districts. EDSA is historically significant as the site of the 1986 People Power Revolution, a peaceful uprising that led to the end of Ferdinand Marcos’s dictatorship. Today, it remains a symbol of Filipino resilience and is often associated with traffic congestion and urban development challenges.
