After the EDSA Revolution and the drafting of the 1987 Constitution, the Municipal Council was restored, making the barangay the smallest unit of government in Philippine politics.

Estrada was soon forced from office by the EDSA Revolution of 2001, and Arroyo was sworn into the presidency by Chief Justice Hilario Davide, Jr. on January 20, 2001.

This led to popular protests culminating in the " EDSA II Revolution ", which effected his resignation and elevated Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to the presidency.

Finally, to the amazement and admiration of the entire world, after twenty years of martial rule, Ferdinand Marcos was driven out from power and Corazon Aquino was formally and peacefully sworn in as the new president of a freed and liberated Philippines on February 25, 1986, a historic event which is now known and remembered as the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution.

The Palace was seized by rebels several times, starting from the People Power Revolution, the 1989 coup attempt, where the palace was bombed by T-28 Trojans, the 2001 Manila riots, EDSA II and the May 1 riots.

After the Second EDSA Revolution, security in the Palace was tightened due to attempts against the government.

The People Power Revolution ( also known as the EDSA Revolution and the Philippine Revolution of 1986 ) was a series of popular demonstrations in the Philippines that began in 1983 and culminated in 1986.

While democracy as Filipinos knew it was restored, rampant corruption plagued the government that led to the 2001 EDSA Revolution, which deposed President Joseph Estrada.

With the victory of Fidel V. Ramos in the 1992 presidential election, many representatives defected to his Lakas-NUCD party ; the same would happen with Joseph Estrada's victory in 1998, but he lost support when he was ousted after the 2001 EDSA Revolution that brought his vice president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to power.

However, after the EDSA Revolution, the word " balimbing " got a rather derogatory definition as a turncoat because of fruit's many sides.

Folk rock became the Philippine protest music of the 1980s, and Aguilar's " Bayan Ko " ( My Country ) became popular as an anthem during the 1986 EDSA Revolution.

The 1986 EDSA Revolution in the Philippines, the Velvet Revolution in former Czechoslovakia, and the resistance to the attempted military coup in the Soviet Union in 1991 that led to the dissolution of that state, are situations where it is possible that it was the " mob " which won the day due to defections by authority.

The EDSA Revolution is a very important event in the history of the Philippines and the image illustrates an unprecedented peaceful gathering of civilians against a dictatorial government.

During the historic 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, Ramos upon the invitation of then Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile, was hailed as a hero even though he was not part of the plan by many Filipinos for his decision to breakaway from the administration of the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos and pledge allegiance and loyalty to the newly established government of President Aquino.

In January 2001, Ramos was instrumental in the success of the so-called second EDSA Revolution that deposed the properly elected Philippine president Joseph Estrada and placed then-Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in the presidential seat.

After winning the Asian Championship, the Philippines qualified for the 1986 FIBA World Championship at Madrid, Spain, but due to the political crisis in the country ( that led to the 1986 Philippine People Power EDSA Revolution ), the national team did not participate in the tournament.

EDSA starts from the Bonifacio Monument ( Monumento ) Roundabout, the marker of the 1896 Revolution by Andres Bonifacio in Grace Park, Caloocan, wherein it will continue straight eastwards, entering Quezon City through the Balintawak District, after an intersection with the North Luzon Expressway at the Balintawak Cloverleaf Interchange.

In the Philippines in 2001, a group of protesters organized via text messaging gathered at the EDSA Shrine, the site of the 1986 revolution that overthrew Ferdinand Marcos, to protest the corruption of President Joseph Estrada.

In 2001, the Avenue again became the site of the EDSA Revolution of 2001 that toppled President Estrada, and elevated vice president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, to the presidency on January 20, 2001 at the EDSA Shrine.

Joseph Estrada was ousted in January by the second EDSA People Power Revolution. Pimentel occupied the Senate Presidency until the end of the regular session on June 2001.

Loren Legarda played a crucial role in the 2000-01 impeachment trial of Joseph Estrada, and her actions eventually helped spark the 2001 EDSA Revolution.

The shrine, built in 1989 originally to commemorate the memories of the People Power Revolution and its peaceful outcome, stands on the site of two peaceful demonstrations that toppled Philippine presidents Ferdinand Marcos ( the People Power Revolution or EDSA I ) and Joseph Estrada ( the EDSA Revolution of 2001 or EDSA II ).

It also played a prominent role in the second EDSA Revolution which removed Joseph Ejercito-Estrada, to be replaced by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2001.

The EDSA Revolution of 2001, also called by the local media as EDSA II ( pronounced as EDSA Dos or EDSA 2 ) or the Second People Power Revolution, is the common name of the four-day revolution that peacefully overthrew Philippine President Joseph Estrada from January 17 – 20, 2001.
