	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.
		EDSA II resulted in the downfall of Estrada's administration, the extreme polarization of Philippine society, and the dilution of the concept of "People Power".

		EDSA Dos is about simple, ordinary, little people willing to stand up together and find strength not in the politics of compromise and convenience but in principled politics.
		EDSA Dos is God-loving people who find strength in unity and not people playing pious for the sake of impression.
		EDSA Dos is extraordinary heroism of ordinary simple Filipinos, not politics of convenience and compromise of a small group of people on top.

		In the EDSA 2 camp, there are no visible moves to consolidate forces, except from the Roco and Villanueva camps, which want to coordinate in anticheating efforts by sharing poll watchers.
		The two presidential candidates from the EDSA 3 camp—Poe and Lacson—are friends of Estrada, although the former president is open about his preference for Poe and has been trying to persuade Lacson to withdraw in favor of his bosom buddy who until recently was the frontrunner in surveys, while Lacson was consistently No. 4.

	FOCUS ON THE PHILIPPINES
		The Edsa Dos forces were quick to distinguish their brand of people power from the gathered mass.
		But the reality is that, for all their vast corruption and incompetence while in office, Estrada and his backers have been able to do something that has eluded the left for decades, and that is to organize the people along class lines into a powerful mass movement.
		If the Iglesia ni Kristo and the El Shaddai were welcomed at the Edsa Shrine by the pro-Estrada masses, this was not only because of their numbers, but because they represented faiths that were seen as more relevant to the needs, aspirations, and fears of the poor.

		There were too many young people at the Edsa shrine; too many youngsters eager to be heroes, but too inexperienced to face the possible consequences of squaring off with a PSG already preparing its arms; the march was, to avoid widespread disappointment, announced as having been ³postponed².
		Footage on television also showed the scorpion tanks of the Presidential Security Group revving up, and the heavily-armed members of the PSG themselves, both in the sort of urban camouflage we hadn¹t seen since the coup attempt of 1989, preparing to defend the man who was still President.
		Edsa II as peaceful people power was literally kept as such at the last minute, by the swearing in of a little woman by a kindly white haired man.

		While EDSA represented for most a cry for change to achieve equity and good governance, for Gloria, it was merely the start of a long presidential campaign.
		We - as the genuine architects of EDSA Dos - have to remind her then that, with her bankrupt economic policies and an equally bankrupt style of politics, she is not far away from the fate of her corrupt predecessor.

		EDSA II have become a scary symbol of how unstable our system of government is for all of us.
		EDSA II however, has obviously become a strong factor which would and could put our leaders on their toes and move them to act according to the principle and essence of their being in the public service.
		The ripples of the People Power will motivate them to do better in their line of duty lest they become the next hero to be held for inquisition, the next who would make a sad wave of goodbye to the very same people who carried him to the palace.

		It's about things they do and how they feel as they carve out a better future for themselves and their families in America.
		All Joseph Ejercito Estrada had to do was sit pretty for six years, occasionally ask his men to wait till he got to a rub-out scene for the proper photo-op, and he'd eventually draw the votes of 11 million Filipinos seduced by a popular name with a roguish-looking "pogi" mug to go with it.
		Where Edsa II was said to have been fuelled irrepressibly by cell phones the middle and upper classes wielded to perfection, the components of the putative EDSA III were the slippered urban poor, trucked in as they may have been, along with sectarian blessings, bottles of gin, and perhaps even shabu.

		EDSA Dos was a spontaneous gathering of massive crowds of people who were of one mind: to remove from office an incompetent and corrupt president whose grubby hands had been found in the proverbial cookie jar by the Senate sitting as an impeachment court.
		The revolution had occurred 11 years before in EDSA 1 when the people rose as one to oust an entrenched dictator and dismantle a system of one-man rule and economic monopolies that he had built to exercise his draconian control over the Filipino people.
		In EDSA Dos, however, all we did was change the President, using the system that was put in place after EDSA 1.
