EDSA which stands for “Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue” is a Special Holiday only for schools to remember the public civil resistance demonstrations in Manila during 1983 to 1986.  Thousands of people spoke out on the injustice of regime violence and electoral fraud for months on end. It is also commonly referred to as the People Power Revolution or the Yellow Revolution because of the many yellow ribbons that were seen during the demonstrations that followed Benigno Aquino Jr.’s assassination.
