The methods used amounted to a sustained campaign of civil resistance against regime violence and electoral fraud. This case of nonviolent revolution led to the departure of President Ferdinand Marcos and the restoration of the country’s democracy. It is also referred to as the Yellow Revolution due to the presence of yellow ribbons during the demonstrations following the assassination of Benigno Aquino, Jr..^[4][5] It was widely seen as a victory of the people against the 20-year running authoritarian, repressive^[6] regime of then president Ferdinand Marcos and made news headlines as “the revolution that surprised the world”.”^{[7] *wikipedia}
