Why was president marcos overthrown?

President Ferdinand Marcos was overthrown in 1986 due to widespread public discontent with his authoritarian regime, characterized by corruption, human rights abuses, and economic decline. His attempt to extend his presidency through a controversial snap election sparked mass protests, particularly the People Power Revolution, which galvanized millions of Filipinos against his rule. The military eventually withdrew support for Marcos, leading to his exile and the restoration of democratic governance in the Philippines.
