MANILA, Philippines - Imagine if 'live tweeting' was a thing 27 years ago.

Imagine no more.

@pcdspo, Twitter account of the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) is "live tweeting" the EDSA Revolution as it happened 27 years ago.

In a statement, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte explained the rationale behind PCDSPO's online initiatives to mark the 27th anniversary of the EDSA Revolution.

"The Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office pays tribute to the thousands of Filipinos who showed unity and courage in freeing themselves from the shackles of a dictatorial government. Though the long stretch of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) served as the epicenter of the four days of courageous struggle, the ripples of revolt were felt all across the nation."
