26th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution


The EDSA Shrine. Also known as the Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace.

     The commemoration of the EDSA People Power Revolution is set on Saturday, February 25, 2012. The

 famous 1986 violence-free revolution is now on its 26th year anniversary.

Built in 1989 to commemorate the EDSA People Power Revolution.
     The first EDSA People Power Revolution brought together millions of Filipinos in an effort to remove

President  Ferdinand Marcos from his office.

Located at the intersection between Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) and Ortigas Avenue. Quezon City.

  The revolution was a peaceful one. No blood was shed. No lives were lost. The power of the people's

voices were clearly seen. 

The true power of democracy. The power of the people.
     In the end, democracy prevailed. The events, as well as the courage and bravery demonstrated by each

person that conspired on that day, will never be forgotten and will forever be engraved in the mind and heart

of every Filipino.
