It is about {{convert|0.90|km|mi|sp=us}} from the EDSA Shrine, another monument built to commemorate the event. DescriptionThe monument is set atop an elevated position and is pyramidal in composition. The first and middle tiers are composed of statues of people from all sectors of the society. The first tier is composed of a chain of men and women with arms linked together. One man at the end of the chain is pointing towards EDSA Shrine and the Ortigas Area. The middle tier represents various people, young and old, who had joined the protest; some of the statues are that of a musician, a mother carrying an infant, a man sporting the "Laban" sign, and priests and nuns. On the top tier of the monument is a towering female figure with arms raised toward the sky. The figure have unchained shackles on her wrist which represent freedom. From the back of the composition rises a large flag and staff. November 2016 protestsOn 30 November 2016, the monument became a gathering point where anti Marcos groups, Martial Law victims and political figures gathered at the monument to denounce the surprise burial of Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Hero's Cemetery) that took place on November 18, 2016. In efforts to seek reversal of the burial due to the unexecutable approval of the Supreme Court. Reason for such condemnation and calls to reverse the burial of the remains of Marcos are due to atrocities and human rights violations during his regime and unrecovered ill-gotten wealth with pending cases till this day.[1] {{coord|14|36|00|N|121|03|36|E|display=title|region:PH_type:landmark_source:GNS-enwiki}}7 Symbols of Peace nominationIn May 2018, the monument was nominated as one of the seven symbols of world peace through the #7Peace #PeoplePower initiative.[2] GallerySee also
