February 22 in History
1986 – Start of the People Power Revolution in the Philippines
Also known as the Yellow Revolution due to the presence of yellow ribbons during demonstrations (in reference to the Tony Orlando and Dawn song ‘Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree’), the People Power Revolution was a sustained campaign of civil resistance against regime violence and electoral fraud, mostly in Metro Manila, from February 22–25, 1986. The nonviolent revolution led to Ferdinand Marcos and his family fleeing Malacañang Palace to exile in Hawaii, ending his 20-year presidential term and the restoration of democracy in the Philippines.
