EDSA I (1986) lasted 5 days and involved large protests over election fraud and the removal of Ferdinand Marcos from power. Protestors wore yellow and there were armed soldiers and tanks present. EDSA II (2001) lasted 4 days and protested the impeachment trial of President Estrada, who protesters lost faith in. Protestors wore black and there were no armed soldiers, instead it had more of a party-like atmosphere. Both protests involved large crowds gathering at EDSA in response to calls from Cardinal Sin and ended peacefully with support from religious sectors.

Differences of edsa I and ii
In EDSA I, the people protested the massive election fraud during the Snap Presidential Elections held during the first week of February 1986. Many supporters of Corazon Aquino were not able to vote because their names were allegedly deleted from the registered voter's list. Members of the Commission on Election walked-out from their work because according to them, then president Ferdinand Marcos were forcing them to declare him the winner. EDSA I lasted for 5 days (February 21-25, 1986)
There are tanks and heavily armed soldiers EDSA I was more of a solemn crusade People wore something yellow during EDSA I Yellow symbolizes democracy which was being cried for in 1986 Ferdinand Marcos left Malacanang and went to Hawaii
In EDSA II, the people protested the pro-Estrada senators' barring of a set of evidences that will convict the president in the on-going impeachment trial . This is what the people claimed as "suppression of truth." People of EDSA II have lost faith on the integrity of the impeachment court and are predicting an acquittal verdict by a majority of the senators. The people then gathered in EDSA to continue the battle in the streets rather than in the court. EDSA II lasted for 4 days only (January 17-20, 2001).
Estrada left the palace but stayed in the country. There was EDSA flyovers and EDSA Shrine There were no presence of tanks and heavily armed soldiers during EDSA II People wore something black during EDSA II Black was worn in 2001 because of the "death" of justice in the Impeachment trial. EDSA II was more like a party.
In both EDSA I and EDSA II, Jaime Cardinal Sin called on the people to gather at EDSA through Radio Veritas. Both ended peacefully. Both were supported by the religious sectors.
