This sculptural monument along the ring road EDSA honours the 1986 revolution that toppled the Marcos government through peaceful mass protest. Unveiled in 1993, it depicts a dynamic mass of figures surging upward around a central woman raising her arms, evoking the surge of citizens who filled the highway. The dramatic bronze group captures the energy of the four days that captured global attention. Set on a landscaped island near a busy interchange, it stands as a lasting reminder of the nonviolent movement that restored democracy.
