    EDSA Somera

    The 1986 EDSA Revolution in the Philippines, also known as the People Power Revolution, was a successful social movement that ousted the authoritarian regime of Ferdinand Marcos and restored democracy. Over two million Filipinos assembled in Manila to protest Marcos' declaration of victory following a fraudulent election. Their persistent nonviolent demonstrations over four days led to Marcos' defeat and dismantling of his dictatorial rule, allowing democracy to be reinstated. However, the revolution failed to fully transform the political system and economic inequalities remained, showing that social movements must pursue deep structural changes to achieve lasting impact.

    Position Paper:

    Tracing back our Philippine history, do you think the 1986 EDSA Revolution can be

    considered a successful social movement?

    The EDSA revolution also known as People Power revolution happened during the

    time of Marcos dictatorships in the year of 1986. for starters i would like to give an

    explanation to what People Power Revolution is. People power revolution was a string of

    citizen protests that took place in the Philippines from February 22 to February 25, primarily

    in Metro Manila. There was a persistent civic resistance movement against electoral and

    regime violence. Ferdinand Marcos' 20-year tyranny came to an end as a result of the

    nonviolent revolution, and democracy was reinstated in the Philippines. People Power

    Revolution (2003, August, 4). In wikipedia.URL. Day after day the people increased in

    numbers increasing their power to protest, as a result of it led to Marcos' defeat and the

    abolition of the tyrannical throne, thus, i would say that i agree that the social movement

    caused by the people who wants their freedom back is successful because the people

    successfully restored our democratic institution and ushered in political, social and economic

    reforms in the country.

    At two million people assembled in this Quirino Grandstand at Luneta stadium,

    manilla to dissent this declaration of Marcos and Tolentino as victors of this Feb 7 grab

    Elections. Party leader and UNIDO presidential candidate Corazon Aquino called for

    nationwide civil disobedience and a boycott of all Marcos crony-owned companies in protest

    of the proclamation, “The power of the people is much stronger than the people in

    power.”(Ghonim, 1980).

    According to popular opinion, EDSA People Power was a significant turning point in

    Philippine political history since it opened the ground for the return of democracy after more

    than ten years under Marcos' dictatorial rule, hoping that now that the dictatorial leader has

    been removed, things would improve. Despite the well publicised advancements in national

    Philippines, per capita income remains low in comparison to nations like Thailand and
    Malaysia and is only marginally better than Indonesia within the area in terms of economic

    performance, particularly between 1992 and 1997. Independent studies also show that

    improvements in the national economy over the past 60 years have mostly benefited the

    wealthy and not considerably benefitted the poorer Filipinos. Research Paper. People Power

    Revolution. (2016, Apr 05).

    Lessons from 1986 and other potential turning points earlier in Philippine history are

    rather clear-cut. At best, revolts have the potential to be revolutionary but do not always

    result in them. The 1986 Revolution failed to realise its potential.

    Although Marcos was removed from power as a political leader, the political order

    that gave rise to him was not completely destroyed and might even be resurrecting right now.

    Democratic advocates have long assumed the EDSA's final lesson, despite there haven't been

    many instances to support it. Self-interested elites cannot start or maintain a democratic

    revolution. An enduring democracy can only be successfully established and maintained by

    an informed, self-serving populace.
