Events of the revolution

Appalled by the bold and apparent election irregularities, the Reform the Armed Forces Movement set into motion a coup attempt against Marcos. The initial plan was for a team to assault Malacañang Palace and arrest Ferdinand Marcos. Other military units will be taking over key strategic facilities, such as the airport, military bases, TV and radio stations, the GHQAFP in Camp Aguinaldo, and major highway junctions to restrict counteroffensive by Marcos-loyal troops.
Lt.Col Gregorio Honasan was to lead the team that was going to assault Malacañang Palace.
However, after Marcos learned about the plot, he ordered their leaders' arrest,[21] and presented to the international and local press some of the captured plotters, Maj. Saulito Aromin and Maj. Edgardo Doromal.[22][23]
Threatened with their impending imprisonment, Enrile and his fellow coup plotters decided to ask for help from then AFP Vice Chief of Staff Lt. Gen Fidel Ramos, who was also the chief of the Philippine Constabulary (now the Philippine National Police). Ramos agreed to resign from his position and support the plotters. Enrile also contacted the highly influential Cardinal Archbishop of Manila Jaime Sin for his support.
At about 6:30pm, February 22, Enrile and Ramos held a press conference at Camp Aguinaldo, where they announced that they had resigned from their positions in Marcos's cabinet and were withdrawing support from his government. Marcos himself later conducted his own news conference calling on Enrile and Ramos to surrender, urging them to "stop this stupidity."[24]
At about 9 p.m., in a message aired over Radio Veritas, Cardinal Sin exhorted Filipinos to come to the aid of the rebel leaders by going to EDSA between Camp Crame and Aguinaldo and giving emotional support, food and other supplies. For many, this seemed an unwise decision since civilians would not stand a chance against a dispersal by government troops. Nevertheless, many people, especially priests and nuns, trooped to EDSA.[24]
Radio Veritas played a critical role during the mass uprising. Former University of the Philippines president Francisco Nemenzo stated that: "Without Radio Veritas, it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to mobilize millions of people in a matter of hours." Similarly, a certain account in the event said that: "Radio Veritas, in fact, was our umbilical cord to whatever else was going on."

my question is...

Why is it that everytime we remember edsa we always refer to cory?
Why do we not atleast give half the credit to Cardinal Sin, who called out the people to march on the street. I mean it is as if that cory was responsible for the people to march on the streets. Im not saying that cory has nothing to do with it. But for pete's sake atleast give credit to one who asked people to March on the streets....

When you see pictures of Edsa, you see pictures of nuns, seminarians and priest...it is because, cardinal sin with the help of Radio Veritas the official radio station of Catholic Church in manila called them out....

I dont see cory as a hero in fact she is a violator herself of Human Rights...

Mendiola Massacre for instance....
Hacienda Luisita...

TV blinded us...they made us see what they want us to see and not what we should see....

Don't think too much. She's just a symbol of our countrymen's aspirations and quest for freedom.

Mao gani na gitawag ug "People Power".. About Cardinal Sin, nobody is questioning his involvement in Edsa 1. He played a big role, in fact we see him in every edsa memorabilia. I don't know why you're creating such a fuzz..

I dont see cory as a hero in fact she is a violator herself of Human Rights...
Mendiola Massacre for instance....
Hacienda Luisita...

Did she order the soldiers to open fire at the rallyists?
Nganong naay CARP? Why did she sign CARP into law? Sus bai kung walay CARP siguro wala gyud tingali mag-uuma nga makaangkon ug yuta diri sa pilipinas.. The issue of HL is just a tip on the iceberg..

TV blinded us...they made us see what they want us to see and not what we should see....

Actually you're the one that blinded yourself. Where were you when EDSA 1 happened? How old are you then?
Maybe you should join the church of Alex Jones or Jesse Ventura..

dili kunohay siya yellow

If that's for me, then i have to tell you straight that i'm not a fan nor a slave of any political leader. Just trying to present history in a proper perspective, not conspiracy nor black propaganda.
