EDSA People Power Revolution Anniversary

The EDSA People Power Revolution Anniversary commemorates the mass civilian movement in February 1986 that helped end authoritarian rule and restore democratic institutions in the Philippines. It is a civic remembrance day rather than a seasonal family celebration, and its holiday classification can vary by proclamation year.

The day is often used for reflection on democracy, peaceful protest, press freedom, and public accountability. Schools, media, and civic groups may discuss the events at EDSA, while ordinary workers mainly need to know its current-year status because it affects whether the date is a workday or a planning marker only.
