On February 24, 1986, during the penultimate day of the EDSA People Power Revolution, Maharlika Broadcasting System was captured and went off the air by the rebels who were supporters of Marcos' rival, Corazon Aquino, during the broadcast of President Marcos, who stated that he would not step down, responding to the rumor that he left Malacañang, an official residence of the Philippine president. The network went back on the air with Orly Punzalan announcing, "Channel 4 is on the air again to serve the people." It was during this exact moment when the network was renamed temporarily as New TV 4. The following day, both Aquino and Marcos were inaugurated as the Philippine president. However, Marcos, along with his family and allies, soon left the country to go into exile in Hawaii, leaving Aquino to officially become the new president of the Philippines.
