Throughout the history of our country, it’s not often that you see or witness democracy triumph over injustice—especially injustice that affects the whole country. A significant and remarkable example of this would be the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, a revolution not only months, nor years, but decades in the making. Akin to a boiling pot, the Filipinos’ passions and thirsts for justice were brought to a roaring boil—and a resounding eruption—as the flames of tyranny, abuse, and hardship that strangled our countrymen during Ferdinand Marcos’ administration ignited the spirits of the Filipinos. The toppling of a dictator is no easy feat—only the perseverance of Filipinos proved it to be possible.
