Philippines (People Power Revolution)

The Philippines’ People Power Revolution was a peaceful mass movement in 1986 that led to the end of President Ferdinand Marcos's authoritarian rule. Millions of Filipinos gathered in the streets to protest corruption, oppression, and election fraud. The uprising was marked by nonviolent protests and civil disobedience, ultimately forcing Marcos to flee the country and restore democratic governance. This revolution is celebrated for demonstrating the power of unified, peaceful citizen action to effect political change.
