Because people want to change president
what happened during EDSA revolution 1
according to the case of Estrada vs. Desierto... 1. EDSA 1 involves the exercise of the people power revolution which overthrows the WHOLE Government, while EDSA 2 is an exercise of people power of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly to petition the governement for redress of grievances which only affected the office of the president. 2. EDSA 1 is extra-constitutional and the legitimacy of the new governemnt that resulted from it cannot be subject of judicial review, while EDSA 2 is intra-constitutional and the resignation of the sitting president that it caused and the succession of the VP as president are subject to judicial review. 3. EDSA 1 involves political question while EDSA 2 involves legal question. ---from: Atty. Edwin Rey Sandoval Notes POLITICAL LAW REVIEWER 2007.
The EDSA Revolution, also known as the People Power Revolution, took place in the Philippines in February 1986 and is celebrated for its peaceful demonstration against the authoritarian regime of President Ferdinand Marcos. It marked the end of nearly 21 years of martial law and led to the restoration of democracy, with Corazon Aquino becoming the country's first female president. A second EDSA Revolution occurred in 2001, known as EDSA II, which resulted in the ousting of President Joseph Estrada due to corruption allegations, further emphasizing the Filipino people's commitment to democratic governance. Both events are remembered as significant moments in the country's history where citizens united to demand change.
