Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I taea e nga hoariri o Marcos te whakakotahi i raro i te United Nationalist Democratic Organization. Ko te kaiārahi o te hoariri a Benigno Aquino Jr.
i patua i tana hokinga mai ki te whenua i te tau 1983. I tēnei wā, kua pakaru te kāwanatanga i te ngoikoretanga o te ohanga, i te tinihanga, i te ngaro o te tautoko tōrangapū. I whai wāhi te hoariri kotahitanga ki te pōtitanga pāremata o te tau 1984, ā, i whai hua ai, tae atu ki ngā wehenga mai i te rōpū whakahaere. I taua wā, kua uru te ōhanga ki tētahi wā o te whakahekenga. Hei aro atu ki te kaha haere o te whakahe, i te tau 1985 ka karanga a Marcos mo te pooti wawe kaore he turanga ture. I whakaingoatia e te hoariri te pouaru o Benigno a Corazon hei kaitono. I whakapuakina a Marcos hei toa o te pōtitanga o te tau 1986, engari i kore te hoariri e whakaae ki te hua, e kii ana i whakatikatikahia te pōtitanga. Na te People Power Revolution i peia a Marcos i te mana, a ka riro a Aquino hei perehitini whai muri i te whakapuakanga a te Kaunihera i a ia hei toa pooti.
