This book focuses on the complex of events referred to popular shorthand as "EDSA". It is widely agreed that "EDSA" and People Power-which saw the fall of Ferdinand Marcos from power and the ascension of Corazon Aquino to the presidency-represent a significant break in Philippine history. This volume approaches questions by placing national events in the context of daily concerns of people in particular places. It also records, in as much significant detail as possible within the limitations of research resources and publication length, what happened during the transition from Marcos to Aquino in the various localities.
