ABSTRACT : The Martial law years as among the darkest in our history, accounting still for most of the ills that we continue to suffer today. The darkness explains the immediate and spontaneous response of the people who poured into Edsa on those four glorious days of September in 1986. it is no accident that the Edsa revolution was saturated, among others, with religious motifs. It was a cleric, the much loved Cardinal Sin, who used the lone Catholic radio station to call for the people to congregate at the highway, and a sea of humanity then made history as they flooded the long street not with guns but with roses and rosaries, a bloodless revolution indeed that filled the air with patriotic songs and prayers, a virtual potluck picnic for all members of the family, which included priests and nuns and seminarians in their recognizable garbs, a true people Power Revolution which is simultaneously a religious event. Thus, the revolution became a fight between good and evil, where Religion stood as the polar opposite of Martial law
