Australian television documentary that describes the four days of nonviolent military revolt that saw the ouster of President Ferdinand Marcos from the Philippines. Explains who participated in the revolt and why it was successful
Remember I was in pre-school during that time. I have an uncle who serve in Philippine army scout rangers (God rest his soul) and my aunt ( mom's sister and his fiance) told me that he defected with the rebel camp. That was a very tense time to our family before.
Marcos is better than any No poverty if they stay longer before. Your Ninoy destroyed the Philippines into a poverty, without Aquino for sure nowadays we are not suffering, That's what happened.
@@lorjin007 check the economy from Aquino administration and compare against both Marcos and Duterte administration. Tired of this same script being blatantly spread all over the internet and yet here you are pretending that you can still buy a lot from grocery stores with your P1000. Where's your Uniteam now?
Enrile 1986: I support Cory Enrile 2019: *I support Marcos* Enrile w/ Marcos: The NPA ambush was real Enrile w/ Cory: The NPA ambush was fake Enrile w/ Pnoy: *The NPA ambush was real*
Enrile is the great pretender all along maybe until now he just put himself were safe in the 1st place he's one who started coup d'etat during that time.
Ganyan ang politics, hindi magiging successful ang 1986 revolution kung hindi din bumaliktad itong sila Enrile and Ramos.. Ang pagbaliktad nila ay may kapalit and the rest was history.
Sa pgbaliktad nila enrile at Ramos ,, naging bangungut n Ang pilipnas dhil nag umpisa n Ang khirapan dhil LAHAT Ng pgmamay-ari Ng gobyerno bininta na ni Cory at ni Ramos Kya ngayon Ang mga pilipino naghirap Ng husto.. Ang nuclear power plant pinasara ni corycong, imbis mkapgbigay Ng kaginhawaan pra sa mhihirap..
BECAUSE THEY SERVE THEIR OWN INTERESTS. THAT'S WHY JPE BECAME SO RICH THAT HE OWNS MULTIPLE BEACH RESORTS IN CAGAYAN AND AT LEAST 20+ HOUSE AND LOT INSIDE EXCLUSIVE SUBDIVISIONS.
I was in grade 1 at that time and as a naive child, I thought people were having a lively party at EDSA when the TV show suddenly switched to the live coverage of EDSA. I was at my grandparent's house playing with my aunt who is the same age as me while watching TV, Then when it suddenly aired the huge crowds at EDSA, I wanted to go but my family didn't want to go. We didn't have school because all our teachers and school principal were at EDSA.
kahanga-hanga ang mga PIlipino ng mga panahong iyon, those were days that they truly shows their strength, courage and unity for the common good at para sa bayan, sayang at wala na ang nag kakaisang adhikain na eto ngayon, lahat ay nasa pansariling kapakanan at interes ang pinapairal. kung sana, sana, sana man lang natuto tayo sa aral ng nakaraan, maunlad na sana ang bayan natin ngayon, nakaka lungkot.
tama po kau dyan itong kinakaharap natin ngaun na sanhi ng tunay na demokrasya daw na siyang dahilan ng samut saring katiwalian sa gobyerno lalo na sa nakalipas na 30 taon matapos ang sinasabing 1986 people power revolution, kung saan nagpasasa at nagpayaman ang mga Oligarchy na siyang tuluyang nagpalugmok sa kahirapan ng buong sambayanan, habambuhay na pagpapakahirap at pagpapakasakit ito ang dapat pagbayaran ng bawat karaniwang Pilipino, para sa bersiyon nilang demokrasya na ito.
These are the chronology of events that transpired in history, the clips featured were the REAL TIME fotages of the moments captured as they unfold right before the eye of us Filipinos who lived During the era. The same that we knew and saw then, and the same that we reminisce to this day. This is the HISTORY that I know of.
its not a chronology. can't you see. it was told according to what was seen outside the palace. however, you can't deny the fact that if Marcos bombed and listened to Gen. Ver to kill the mutineers, then that 1986 would not be peaceful after all. it takes two to tango. so don't take the credit as if this is the whole history. it is just part of the history.
@@ricebread9186 so what’s your point in saying “if marcos bommed and listened to gen Ver to kill the mutineers “ marcos ignoring Gen ver was itself part of history.. it was indeed what happened inside malacanang.....there are no “what if’s” in history unless you are trying to tweak it to your own liking......infact that footage only surfaced later to present the fair chronology of events for everyone to understand what was really going on from both side of the fence..... all the other footages were the ones heared and seen ‘real time’ and unfiltered over the radio and television back then....history is history and it only takes a moment to make one. These events were all part of it, and you cant deny things that happened from happening. To be fair, A chronology help to understand things better and it is only in snippets that things are taken out of context to become a lie.
Itinalaga ni FEM ang Martial Law dahil gustong sakupin ng Terorista sa pamumuno ni Ninoy Aquino at Joma Sison. 36 yrs nilason ng kasinungalingan ng mga Aquino.
@@ricebread9186 We were the once Youth that got rid of this Dictator. We are still Alive! Stop twisting History if you're not even a todpoal when it happened. A Fool who never learned from the Past tends to Repeat it.
@@ricebread9186 He did'nt have a choice international media is everywhere ,the US warned him already that is the reason why he conducted a snap election.Col.Sotelo swear that they have orders from FEm to bomb camp crame,Gen.Tadiar has Tanks going to crame if there arent any people in Edsa it will be a bloody revolution,it is the PEOPLE who made it bloodless. In Fact Marcos plotted to Kidnap Cory and take the PH by Force in Hawaii,The evidence is a voice recording and a sworn statement from a Saudi Prince representative.
I was there. Clark Air Base was my first US Air Force duty station. Coincidentally, the US air wing was away for a war game exercise in Korea, when suddenly the whole Philippines Air Force came and landed on our base. I listened to the radio as a general called for other generals by name to join their side. On the radio, Cardinal Sin asked for "all religious people" to come on the streets and help keep the peace. It was tense, and all American military people were ordered to stay home. No flying would be allowed. So my roommates and I sat and watched TV. Then, about midnight, we heard an American helicopter flying fast and low over our house. My roomies, both navigators, knew the direction the chopper had come from. "THAT'S HIM!" We piled into my car and raced to the base. There, on the American base, Filipino troops lined the streets with M-16s at attention. American troops transferred boxes from trucks to a giant cargo jet. It was quiet. My friends and I stood on the tarmac at the end of the runway, drinking our cocktails and waiting. Then, as the sun rose, the C-141 and a C-9 medevac jet lifted off and flew directly over our heads. A few minutes later, I went to my usual morning meeting, where the colonel announced that Marcos had rested a few hours at the base hotel and has now left. Only three people know the destination, the colonel said. Marcos, the General at headquarters, and the pilot. I was so proud of the Philippine people for pulling off a bloodless coup. His time was over, and everyone knew it but him. The next day, the pilot who flew him out--my college buddy--took me by chopper to the palace to deliver a bomb-sniffing dog team and two men in black suits who never said a word.
Ito ang pinakamalagim na pangyayari sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas... at yugto sa kasaysayan ng pilipinas na nanaig ang kasamaan .... kaya never again as Edsa revolution....
If Marcos have stayed in power, the Philippines would have turned into a failed state due to rampant corruption, cronyism, and a falling economy. Stop spewing lies.
yes... nabulagan na ang tao dahil sa mga pinalabas ni cory na si marcos ang nagpapatay kay ninoy gayung malamang alam nila talaga kung sino pumatay dahil ayaw nilang buksan uli ang kaso dahil gusto nila isipin lagi ng tao na masama si marcos,,,pero ang totoo ang mga aquino ang traydor at nagplano ng lahat para pabagsakin ang marcoses kaya naloko nila ang maraming tao. NEVER AGAIN TO DILAWAN!!!
I still do not understand why Philippine warplanes shot at houses in Dasmariñas Village during the EDSA revolution. Our house was shot, damaging the roof, penetrating the ceiling, hitting my drawer and some other furniture. My mother was also hit in the shin (she still has shrapnel in her bone); but she is ok. Our neighbor was Lopez (the owner of ABS CBN). I always wondered if they made a mistake targeting our house. My uncle a history buff, kept some of the shrapnel as mementos. None of my classmates ever believed me, and thought it was “kwentong barbero” I wish it was. Even at a young age I was able to recognize the fear in my grandparents, parents, kasambahay and siblings eyes. Hearing those faint shots pierce the night, followed by crunching sounds; then my mother’s screaming, are sounds I will never forget.
Ha ha ha, the dictator's playbook - make people distrust media. The media are merely carrier of the news. There is no way that revolt can be twisted. If the Philippines under Marcos was heaven on earth, why did millions of people march the streets for his ouster? And don't tell me that it was the media that influenced those people to revolt because all the major dailies, tv and radio network were for the administration. Every major media organization was afraid of him. The revolt was a result of dire economic hardships, vulgar display of power and the stifling of democracy. Find out the economic indicators of the Philippines from 75 to 86 at DBP , WB/IMF. If you are smart enough, you will never blame the media for Marcos' ouster. Wag tayong maging bobo mag Google po tayo.
The sad fact was, a wrong leader was put to power post Edsa revolt. The oligarchs economy flourished, the lives of Filipinos did not get any better. No meaningful reforms and progress done by Cory and the last Aquino in presidency.
Why single out Aquino mother and son? There have been other "post Edsa revolt" presidents: FVR, Erap Estrada, GMA, and PRRD. What about them? I am not including the incumbent because his term has just started.
@@mrrd4444 The oligarchy was tight and under control under Marcos. The government owns and control most of the basic needs of people- from agriculture, water, electricity, airlines, banking, etc. Cory enriched the Oligarchs sold and relinquished total controls of the big govt. corporations. Sold ABS-CBN back to the Lopezes the cheapest and even written-off their massive debts. She started the downhill of government and corrupted the political structure under her ineffective 1987 constitutions. Facts itself validates the need of history revisionism- correct it!
@@johnpaulabocad6941 From what? His father was arrested and executed. He was poor. He used his connections with his wife to cheat the bar exam. He was never rich
Honestly, I am no expert in politics and surely not taking sides. I was a toddler back then when this memorable and amazing thing happens The only thing I can recall was the word "TORA TORA" being mentioned repeatedly in the airwaves from the "transistor" in our house at that time I believe PTV 4 also is airing at that time during a certain siege in CAMELOT HOTEL somewhere in QC But seeing this again. knowing now the other side of things that were unclear to me since then made me feel proud and disappointed at the same time I'm truly glad I got the chance to live through the time when people surely got united and won a revolution without shedding blood and being violent Where the soldiers understand and felt it within that not all orders need to be followed Not all wars can be won by a firefight That sometimes peace can be obtained just by listening to your heart and being calm I wonder if that passion still lingers Or is it no longer apt for this generation Or people just simply got used to it Again, I am glad to see and experience this in my lifetime😏😇
It did. How can you say it won the battle when lost the war? It is so fucking complete that it led to the fall of communism, what Ferdinand Marcos tried to destroy. How ironic, it took the defeat of the dictator to defeat the Communists.
I was living in Canoga Park, CA at the time. I visited an American friend in West Hills, he opened the door of his house for me with a grim face saying something really bad was happening in the PI. He showed me the way to his t v room where ABC News was playing the news. It was an historical event. This documented fact cannot be denied nor altered by anyone who wish to get their own narrative out there.
Ito dapat pinapanood, hindi yung Maid in Malacañang. May pa-torch torch pang nalalaman. Bukid yarn? Sa lungsod nangyari ang rebolusyon, hindi sa bundok.
61M within 3 days MiM, Cory was an evil! This means, most of the Filipinos are liking to know the Marcos fam. These traitors regarded FEM as a monster. Filipinos are now enlightened, no more dilawans, tapos na ang kanilang ambisyon.
I think most Filipinos realizes the difficulties in life back in 1986, I am from Minnesota going to korea last month of June this year 2023 and I have decided to visit my relatives in Singapore and did a side trip to the Philippines before I will be back in korea as I noticed the filipino drivers and motorcyclist have no disciplined in driving the country Philippines has a lot to catch up with other southeast Asian countries. Japan and Korea are the model Asian countries in Asia specially korea is the best my home country after two weeks of my traveling I am back in the mainland United States of America THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES. THE DREAM IS VERy ALIVE
The sad part of Philippine history yet the longest sadness for Filipinos afterward. May the soul of the characters in that historical event rest in eternal peace...
People always say"philippines economy lowered down when the coup happend". Do know, it is normal for a country expierence a downfall after a massive coup happens. Like what yall expect? They kicked put a guy who has ridiculous amount of money. Its not like the country will be succesful straight away.
I was there for 3 days. I was also at the PICC during the tabulators' walk-out. Seems like a lifetime away. Now another Marcos is in power. Maybe made of a different fabric remains to be seen. I was 30 years old in 1986.
Months palang president si Cory puro rally din at month palang may namatay sa mga nag raraly na magsasaka at magulo laging nag babarilan ang sundalo kapwa sundalo mga bida bida sa edsa dumami lang kasi humarang sa edsa libong sakay ng bus ang stranded at naglakad nlang
So whats wrong and what funny then? Bakit kaya nagkalat ng mga vlog ng mga.marcos at aquino during the duterte time? So musta ung economy at demokrasya during digong?
Political preferences aside, can't you just appreciate the fact that we would prefer peace over fighting each other into a civil war. The first contact with the Marines and APCs were introduced with prayers and chants instead of retaliating with molotovs which further de-escalated the mood. Appreciate the fact that we did not end up like the civil war in Myanmar right now.
That would definitely happen if Marcos doesn't have his guts to still live even after the whole nation slapped his goddamn face after his family molested the found of the Filipino nation for 21 years of their horrible dictatorship.
@@eredgabs4747 FEM is still a hero because he downplayed the urgent advice of general Ver to conduct artillery fire to the location of Enrile, Ramos, and the rest of their henchmen at Camp Crame during edsa 1. If FEM vowed to general Ver, collateral damage could have greatly happened because they're in the midst of hundreds of people who have been brainwashed by the yellow evil. FEM is a man of compassion and integrity. Amid his crucial situation, the safety, and welfare of the Filipino people are still his priority over his own family's safety. He still observed the virtue of civilian supremacy over the military in the democratic Philippines. Good thing, he is not like Idi Amin and other sadistic dictator leaders who brutally killed many of their people with machine guns amid their demonstrations/rallies that oppose their style of governance.
@@unknownph537there was no freedom in the marcos government,No freedom,people dying left and right. And yes,philippines did have good military in the marcos government but the filipinos had poor lifestyle. And to me,the people is more valuable then the military.
May this video awaken us and don’t forget what happened in the past and never allow terrorism, martial law, human rights abuses, and self-enriching by the new leaders just elected to repeat those atrocities committed before the 1986 People Power to happen again. Let us not allow these to happen again
Hindi talaga namin makakalimutan ang nangyari na yan ay isang malaking pagkakamali kaya ito na ngaun miserable ang buhay na masmasahol pa sa martial law sa hirap ng buhay ngayon.

Mistake? The mistake is voting for BBM. Because all he wants is to vindicate his father’s legacy by all means necessary. Even to the point of fooling the Filipinos once again by bombarding the social media with fake news. It worked though, but it showed the world how gullible our nation is.
Enrile is smartest and cunning Filipino hero ever. He would be bravest against those who cannot provide him his desire, but kindest to those who will give in to his wants. He is a hero and villain at the same time, and the guiless masses remain mesmerized by his doble cara persona.
@@wobbafett2464why blame the son of marcos? Did he declared martial law? Did bbm killed his own people? No. Only his father. We should not blame him because of his father.
I was there! I will never be as proud as when Filipinos finally said "Enough!" and decided to finally fight back, albeit peacefully. For 4 short days, the Filipino forgot their regional alliances, and did not think about himself, but for our Inang Bayan. This documentary brought tears to my eyes, for the love of country was evident in the faces of everyone who was there. Mabuhay tayong lahat!

EDSA People Power was a very moving act of the Filipino people for their freedom. The only problem? The next leader of the Philippines could've been someone more experienced. BUT AGAIN, NO TO MARCOS!
that is what they believing, not knowing that they are having a great mistake. that they have been deceived by some few people who wants to grab the power just for there own personal and selfish cause.
i was 33 years old then and went to edsa to join the protesters and an eyewitness to that 4 historical days. too bad, that the marcoses that the people abhorred are now all back in power! quo vadis, pinoys?

Those times are full of passion, you can see it in the people, and the soldiers on both sides hugging and crying after one defected. It is time the Philippines hit the reset button. Enough of this political dynastic families. No more Marcoses, Dutertes, Aquinos, Arroyos.. No more! It's time for something new.
The opposition at that time had the chance to rebuilt the country. But they failed to do so. All the presidents from 1986 up to the present combine, cannot out perform the accomplices of FEM.

@@Ampie.retoke7123 I was an anti Marcos then and I would be happy to see rallies becoming violent. What delighted me most at that time was the civil disobedience that the pro Aquino movement(together with the big business people that PRRD calls the oligarch) sabotaged the economy by boycotting businesses that were identified to be Marcos cronies. This hasten the Marcos regime to its knees after capitalizing the murder of Ninoy. Very true, corruptions always accompanies infra projects even before Marcos time. We only got to notice it because of the enormous & numerous projects Marcos made in his 20yr rule. Marcos probably was corrupt, but I have to admit that inspite of all the excesses, he was able to deliver many infra projects that even upto now we are benefiting from it. Contract working started in the middle east particularly in Saudi Arabia where at that time was on a building spree in the late 70's. Who would resist temptation to work in Saudi where big wages, good benefits, free accommodations and its all tax free? Again, our factory workers who lost their jobs, partly were collateral damage of the "boycott movement" of the Aquino movement to oust the dictator.
The people power revolution of 1986 is the culmination of the filipino exasperation of the many years of marcos autocratic rule and the unimaginable absuses made by the marcos family that resulted to almost emptieng the national coffers that brought the philippines economy to its lowest level in decades.Before marcos left malacanang the countrys debts both from local lenders and internationsl reached to billions in us currency that made the national deficit to its worstbin the philippine history. True to that marcos left the legacy of making the philippines a pauper inside the asean cercuit.Meaning if ninoy did not sacrificed and died in the hands of marcos the country would have not escaped from the hands of marcos desdpotic rule..The philippines could have suffered more under the dictators watch.Truly the aquino murder changed dramatically the political lansdcape in the philippines.Marcos instantly changed his course from malupit na diktador to maamong diktador dahil sa takot baka kuyugin siya ng balana dahil sa pagpatay niya sa magaling na senador.Alam ba ninyo na ang sinasabi ng mga narcos nz kinidnap sila ng kano kasabwat si mrs aquino ay para bigyan ng palsong kahulugan ang pagbagsak ng diktador.Sa totoo lang ang tunay na nzngyari ay puno ng nerbyos ang buong marcos family dahil sa balitang lulusubin na ng milyones na pinoy ang palasyo at baka patayin ang msrvos family sz nga oras nayon.Totoo nga na milyones talaga ang dumating coming from many directions sa galit ng pinoy noon sa pamilyang marcos.Sa takbo ng pangyayari na bilang na ang mga oras ni marcos sa palasyo humirit payan si marcos na sa ilokos nalang daw sila dadalhin at huwag sa hawaii but cory was smart enough not to givein to the deception of mr narcos.Kasi alam nina mrs aquino na kapag pinayagan si marcos na sa ilokos lang sila dadalhin may malaking posibilidad na magbuo si marcos ng pwersa na magdistabilized sa cory new government kaya hindi nalinlang ni marcos si cory.Kaya yong alibi ng mga loyalista nz kinidnap ng us at cory si marcos kalokohan yon. The people are excited to witness the fall of once the ruthless asian dictator and plunderer. Buhos ang pagdating ng tao sa mzlzkanyzng noon at parang fiesta na nagsayawan at hiyawan sa tagumpay na pagpalayas sa isang malupit na lider na nagbigay ng maraming masamzng alaala sa mga pilipino.
@@ejuantv9224 i think marcos legacy has more destructive tendency and threat to our democracy as a whole.His behavior of pasiga siga style was not conformed to our democratic principle as it create devisiveness and political instability.His perpetuating to power tendency sbsolutely taliwas sa ating makabansang approach para sa katahimikan at kapayapaan para sa ikakabuti ng pinas.Ang ipinskitang estelo ni marcos na kahit nilalabag nz niya ang batas o constitution na kahit super tapos ns niya sng term niya ay pilit pang naghanap ng paraan para huwag lang maalis sa kanyang pwesto ay maliwanag na paglabag sa ating batas.Malaking lapastangan ito sa ating mgs pinoy.Lantarang ipinakita ni marcos na siya ang batas at siya lang dapat mssunod meaning he was really a dictator in the true sense of the word.Tapos pilit nilang isaksak sa baga ng bawat pinoy na dapat tanggapin nating isang bayani ang kumag nayon.No way and never again.
Lalong naghirap bansa simula nawala ang marcos noon..ngayon hindi na basta maibangon ang pilipinas dahil sa haba ng panahong naghirap sa ibat ibang presidente.
Simpre 36yrs nga nila itinago yun sulo, marami ang may hawak ng katotohanan pero takot maglabas dahil panahon ni Cory marami ang nagtanka Labanan ngunit lahat ng yun ay biglang naglaho na parang bula.
Laging nasa huli ang pangsisisi. Oh, the exuberance of youth. Totoo nga yung sinabi ni Madam Imelda Marcos, PFEM, given all the power in his hand chose nonviolence to deal with protesters. Compare to the bish of a housewife who ordered the military to open fire at Mendiola.
On this part enrile was a traitor to mr. Marcos enrile is a flip flopper. He should call for a dialog with mr. Marcos at that time to avoid this shameful what happened in the Philippines.
