Thousands of Filipinos gathered on Friday to mark the anniversary of a 'People Power' uprising against late dictator Ferdinand Marcos - with a new Marcos era potentially just 10 weeks away.
Filipinos raise their fists and placards during a rally marking the anniversary of the 1986's People Power Revolution that overthrew the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, near the EDSA People Power monument in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, February 25, 2022.
Other protesters carried placards with phrases such as "No to Marcos" and "Return stolen wealth", while others danced at an event arranged by survivors of Marcos Sr's harsh era of martial law. The Marcos family lived extravagantly and were accused of siphoning off about $10 billion from the central bank, spending it on real estate, jewellery and artworks by Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet. About $3.4 billion has been recovered.
