Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA)

Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (also known as EDSA) is the main road in Metro Manila, Philippines. It is an important commuting hub between the northern and southern parts of the metropolis. EDSA figures prominently in the recent history of the Philippines for being the site of two peaceful demonstrations that toppled the administration of two presidents, Ferdinand Marcos and Joseph Estrada, as well as a major rally of the political opposition which rocked the earlier months of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's term.

EDSA forms a major portion of one of the circumferential roads in Metro Manila, C-4. It runs in a rough semicircle around Metropolitan Manila and, from the south, passes through the cities of Pasay, Makati, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Quezon City, and Caloocan. Its southern endpoint is at the rotunda near the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay (currently under construction) and its northern terminus is at Monumento, a monument to Andres Bonifacio, in Caloocan. When the avenue was constructed during the presidency of Manuel L. Quezon, it was named Julio 19, after national hero Jose Rizal's date of birth. It was later renamed Highway 54, and because of a republic act in 1959 was further renamed in honor of Epifanio de los Santos, a noted historian. It is also named the battleground of advertising billboards. A semicircle is a two-dimensional geometric shape that forms half of a circle. ...
