Long before today's peaceful revolutions, there was the EDSA

Long before the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, and even before the fall of the Iron Curtain and peaceful revolutions in Eastern Europe, there was the People Power Revolution in the Philippines.

This week commemorates the 25th anniversary when a peaceful revolution toppled a dictatorship.



Today's struggles in the Middle East echo what happened back in 1986 in the Philippines.

Never doubt the power of activism!
