TODAY IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY

This day marks the end of the 4-day People Power II Revolution in EDSA, Philippines.

Following the PNP (Philippine National Police) and AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) withdrawal of support for Estrada, the then vice-president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo took her oath of office in front of the millions of crowd in EDSA. Estrada, although still refused to resign, has left Malacañang and was later placed under house arrest. Where were you while this event is unfolding?
