@teacherbuknoy@masto.ai#OnThisDay, 35 IT professionals manning the quick count of the 1986 Snap Elections walked out of the PICC after noticing irregularities with the COMELEC tallies. They noticed that their superiors started to manipulate the results in favor of Marcos Sr. This walkout later became one of the catalysts for the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution.

As humble as our professions can be as developers, it is worth noting that we can still contribute to change our future for the better.
