Feb 25 - Philippine People Power Anniversary

February 22 till 25, 1986 will forever remain in the annals of Philippine history as the supreme manifesation of genuine "PEOPLE POWER.
Filipinos from all walks of life - the rich, the poor, the religious, the employed and the unemployed, came in droves towards Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), between Camps Aguinaldo and Crame, during those fateful four days in February, to form a human barricade against the soldiers sent by the dictatorship.
Inspired by the heroic crusade of their truly elected leaders, Corazon C. Aquino and Salvador H. Laurel, and catalyzed into action by a brave bunch of military men led by the Defense Minister and the Armed Forces Vice Chief of Staff, millions went to defy the might of the repudiated arcos dictatorship. And they prevailed, without violence.
By their vigilance and courage, and the help of Divine Providence, the Filipino people triumphed over the forces of repression and tyranny.
The Bureau of Posts proudly commemorates, through these stamp issues, those unforgettable events that are now enshrined for posterity as "PEOPLE POWER".
