Walang Himala! Himagsikan sa Edsa.

From the site:
StuartXchange presents Angela Stuart-Santiago's works on the 1986 EDSA revolution, in their entirety. The two published works - an English version (
EDSA: The Original People Power Revolution) and a Tagalog version (
Walang Himala! Himagsikan sa Edsa) - in a blow-by-blow style of story telling - will bring the People Power Revolution back into the forefront of your consciousness. A must-read for every freedom-loving Filipino, for students of history, for those whose memories have been blurred by time, for the younger generations for whom EDSA is piecemeal snippets of heresay, and for those who just wish to read and reminisce of a time when a people showed the possibilites of its heart and soul.
