Absolute peace is what kept the revolution together.

The immense crowd of citizens was caused by the refusal of resignation and suspension of the constitution of Ferdinand Marcos, the president of the Phillipeans who became the dictator of the nation. Extreme censorship of opposing forces was carried out, and rivals who stood against him were arrested, and in some cases, assassinated, as senator Benigno Aquino Jr. (seen below) was in 1983. The face of the revolution was instead Corazon Aquino (also seen below), the late senator's spouse. Throughout the four days on the highway, the people would not give up until Marcos resigned from office; and so, on the fourth day of peaceful protesting, February 25, 1985, Marcos was exiled from the country, making way for a future free of dictatorship and martial law.
