Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition Series 2):
MARCH 25, 1986
Pres. Corazon C. Aquino issued Proclamation No. 3 which established a revolutionary government after Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos was ousted from power through the EDSA People Power Revolution.
The Proclamation declared "a national policy to implement reforms mandated by the people protecting their basic rights, adopting a provisional constitution, and providing for an orderly transition to a government under a new constitution."
She abolished the 1973 Constitution and replaced it with the 1986 Freedom Constitution, and exercised both executive and legislative functions until Congress was restored in 1987 and the 1987 Constitution was ratified.
