February 25th is historically significant in the Philippines as the anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution.
The EDSA People Power Revolution took place in 1986 when millions of Filipinos, through non-violent protests, gathered along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Manila to demand the resignation of President Ferdinand Marcos. The movement ultimately led to the end of the Marcos regime and the restoration of democracy in the Philippines.
The anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution is commemorated on February 25th as a public holiday in the Philippines, known as "EDSA People Power Revolution Anniversary" or simply "People Power Revolution Day." It is a day to reflect on the power of collective action and its role in shaping the nation's history.
