People Power, then and now The-Tidings.com The 1986 EDSA Revolution arguably inspired the 1987 democratization rallies and demonstrations in Korea, the 1987 pro-democracy demonstration in Burma, the 1989 Tiananmen incident in China, and the numerous people power revolts in Eastern Europe, including the 1989 Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, that broke the chains of Communism. The cardinal’s involvement in both the 1986 and the 2001 revolution, however, have also raised questions regarding the blurring of the line separating the church from the state. EDSA I and II are fruits of holy years — the first being the Marian Year while the latter is the Jubilee Year.” www.the-tidings.com /2001/0209/power.htm

EDSA Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The EDSA Revolution, also referred to as the People Power Revolution and the Philippine Revolution of 1986, was a mostly nonviolent mass demonstration in the Philippines. While the EDSA Revolution is almost universally acknowledged as a great example of democracy at work, many political scientists and sociologists have commented that the Philippines has largely failed to actualize the possible gains from a fresh change in government, including the new constitution. According to some observers, the EDSA Revolution was little more than a coup d'état by disgruntled military officials, who attempted to overthrow Marcos and install a military junta with Corazon Aquino as a figurehead president. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/EDSA_Revolution

natives' wish -- EDSA I / EDSA II Thus, if the snap elections that were rigged in favor of Ferdinand Marcos on 8 February 1986 had triggered the People Power uprising at EDSA two weeks hence, the refusal of 11 senators to allow the opening of the second envelope in the impeachment trial served the same purpose in January 2001. EDSA II is a stark reminder that our politicians, and a majority of our voters, did not learn the lesson of EDSA I. It is hoped that this time around, everyone gets the message. Even if the People Power texters virtually abandoned EDSA so they could change into new clothes, take a nap, brush their teeth, and get something to eat during the first three mornings of the EDSA II uprising, there was no real danger of the historic site being taken over. www.nativeswish.com /012201/pp7.htm

Phliippine EDSA Revolution day The country went bankrupt, and that, actually, was the start of the EDSA's riot in 1986. People gathered in EDSA to request President Estrada to leave (For your information, Estrada is not his real name. The matter went hot and hotter when Corazon Aquino, the widow of Ninoy Aquino's candidated for the Presidential election in 1985 and was robbed of her winning by President Ferdinand Marcos's administration. small-world.elaguna.net /articles/EDSA_day.htm

Remembering 1986 People Power Revolution Next, the respondents were asked their opinion regarding the 1986 Edsa Revolution, the Edsa rally in January 2001, and the Edsa rally and march to Malacañang on May 1, 2001. In the throes of political turmoil and economic crisis and on the 16th anniversary of the Edsa Revolution in 1986, it is in order to ask what Filipinos know and feel about "people power" and its second and third application since then. Thirteen years after the EDSA Revolution, a new president's public speeches would continue to denounce routinely "hoodlums in robes" (those in the judiciary), "hoodlums in uniform" (those in the military and the police) as well as all other plain hoodlums in and out of government service. www.seasite.niu.edu /Tagalog/Tagalog_Default_files/Philippine_Culture/remembering_the_1986_people_power_revolution.htm

Edsa I & II: Fake people power In the case of Ferdinand Marcos, the criteria observed by the church in egging the populace, on Feb. 2, 1986, were the lack of a popular mandate for the dictator, widespread corruption and violations of human rights. First, the criteria for church repeated intrusions into the realm of the temporal — during the Edsa revolt of 2001, the ouster of President Joseph Estrada (which I adamantly refuse to dignify with the appellation Edsa II) and the numerous coup attempts in-between. The promise that brought people out to Edsa for that event was that the economy would improve, the dollar would be more affordable and that corruption would disappear, all these just by changing presidents. newphilippines.org /forum/index.php?topic=2526.new;topicseen

Sun.Star Network Online - Palace declares Aug. 21 as 'Ninoy Aquino Day' Ramos said the celebration of Edsa "has become not only nationwide but universal because it was the non-violent, peaceful People Power revolution of the Filipinos in February 1986 that sparked the light of freedom all over the world." Meanwhile, Manila Archbishop Gaudencio B. Rosales said in his homily during the 18th anniversary of the People Power 1 that very little change took place after Edsa 1 in 1986, since more "purification" is needed to renew the governance and habits of many Filipinos today.

Filipinos Have Not Learned Lesson From People Power Revolution, Says Cardinal MANILA, 26 February 2004 — The Filipinos have not learned the “lesson of freedom” from the 1986 “People Power revolution,” Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Rosales said yesterday, on the 18th anniversary of the bloodless uprising that ended the 20-year rule of dictator Ferdinand Marcos. “It is sad because this is the anniversary of EDSA (people’s power revolution),” said Teddy Casi?o, secretary-general of the leftwing Bayan. The rites were held at the “people power” monument on EDSA outside Camp Aquinaldo, the military headquarters that was surrounded 18 years ago by hundreds of thousands of people to protect soldiers led by former defense chief Juan Ponce Enrile and Ramos, then deputy military chief, who broke away from Marcos. aljazeerah.info /News%20archives/2004%20News%20archives/Feb/26n/Filipinos%20Have%20Not%20Learned%20Lesson%20From%20People%20Power%20Revolution,%20Says%20Cardinal.htm

Philippines: People Power II Thursday 18th January saw a 10 kilometre human chain snake its way through the business district to the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) –; the site of the decisive stand-off between protestors and troops in 1986 which sent Marcos fleeing from the country (People Power I). The movement has been given the name People Power II, after the 1986 revolt on the same street which toppled the dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Newspapers call it both a ”peaceful revolution”, a ”bloodless coup” and even ”the peoples’ coup”. www.socialisterna.org /rs_eng/texts/estrada_gone_off433.html

TIMEasia.com People Power Redux 1/29/2001 What he got instead, when the trial collapsed, was the onset of political rigor mortis: the Senate vote became the symbolic catalyst sending hundreds of thousands of Filipinos into the streets to rally at the People Power shrine built along Epifania de los Santos (EDSA) Ave., where praying nuns faced down tanks in 1986. The principal parties in People Power II were by Saturday morning comfortably ensconced at EDSA and preparing to march on the palace if Estrada did not honor the deadline to resign. While the television cameras were focused on the rallies—and the commentators became lost in reveries about People Power revisited—behind-the-scenes negotiations had been going on nonstop between military factions loyal to Estrada and those who advocated a quick coup to depose the President. time.com /time/asia/magazine/2001/0129/cover1.html
