Summary The Philippines are celebrating 25th anniversary of the People Power Revolution that toppled the long-ruling dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
The celebration kicked off with a flag raising ceremony at the People Power Monument. The anniversary is especially significant for Philippine President Benigno Aquino the Third, whose parents were instrumental in restoring democracy to the country 25 years ago. The uprising against Ferdinand Marcos, who had ruled for more than 20 years, began after what is considered to have been a widely fraudulent election.
