  2. EDSA revolution of the Philippines. We wanted to oust then president Ferdinand Marcos with wife Imelda Marcos who had declared marshall law on the country unneccessarily. It was quite amazing really. An entire revolution without a single drop of blood spilt. Only prayer and song. My dad was part of this back in the 80s. He helped pass out food to all the people there.

  4. I take it back. It was EDSA (dos). Yeah, we had two of them. I was actually a part of the second one. So I should be in that picture somewhere ;)
    This one was to oust President Joseph Estrada. It was a big deal. Here, read:
