    EDSA People Power Revolution

    Crowds of people gathered in EDSA (Epifanio de los Santos


    Avenue) to stand up for dictator and fight for democracy. Once, EDSA was
    a historical place and not a traffic area of vehicles. EDSA People Power
    Revolution happened on February 22, 1986. It wa a bloodless revolution,
    marked a history a one as one of the national and most memorable event
    that has been on the hearts of Filipinos, specially to those who was there
    on the main event. Military, soldiers and Armed forces together with their
    weapons are the weapons of the government, while prayers and faith was
    the only weapons of our beloved brave Filipino citizens who was there to
    recover our freedom from former President Ferdinand Marcos. The reason
    why was the People Power Revolution happened it is because of the lack
    of freedom, life threatening and abuses caused by the hands of President
    Marcos. According to the articles that I have read, and videos that I have
    watched, President Marcos violated human rights since the tyrannical. And
    even the cause of the death of former Senator Benigno Aquino, Sr. was
    been accused to our former President. All the blame was into him. And
    after Benigno’s death, Filipinos showed their strength to fight and to win
    back our freedom and the democracy. And after that Marcos was arrested
    for his own caprice.

    I’ve watched many different videos and footages about EDSA


    People Power Revolution, and I saw how people of the Philippines longing
    for our freedom to live freely in our country against dictatorial. I saw how
    brave they are and how wide their faith was just to win back the freedom
    that we wanted. But then, many of the people regrets that they joined the
    EDSA People Power Revolution.
    And because at that time, they don’t know what’s happening and didn’t
    saw the sacrifices of former President Marcos for our beloved country,
    because Filipinos, way back, only wants the freedom and didn’t know what
    was happening. Unlike us now, we all have the access to know more things
    about what is happening to our surroundings we can now have the
    knowledge to decide and think. Still, the result of EDSA People Power
    Revolution was great.
    Questions:
    How can reason be translated into action?
     Reason can be translated into action in many different
    ways, I can connect it in the People Power Revolution
    which reasoning is the reason why Filipinos made an
    action to bring back the freedom from President Marcos.
    Filipinos wanted to be free, and reasoning won’t do
    anything and the only thing they can do is to make an
    action to win back our freedom. And that reason turns
    into action.
    Explain: If there were no intellect, there would be no will.
     As I read the comments of those who joined the People
    Power Revolution. I observed that some of those who
    participated the revolution regrets that they joined.
    Because they realized that President Marcos was really a
    great president. And if there would be no intellect, the
    there would be no result or good outcome. Maybe there
    is, but its not as what you’ve expected. And so you better
    have knowledge to be successful.
    What is Social Contract and is it reflected in the People power?
     Probably, yes! You can connect and reflect it. Because
    People Power Revolutions is what does the Social
    Contract means. And Rousseau’s Social contract can be
    applied or it could relate to this modern day condition and
    also and also that has been observed during the People
    Power Revolution. And according to the book of
    Rousseau, “Man is born free: and everywhere he is in
    chains” it tries to explain that we should be free but still
    should know our boundaries or our limitations and its
    risks. And we should remember that a great power
    comes from great responsibility, each person should
    surrender the freedom willingly for greater safety.
