	Ousting A President A Report From Mendiola By Nicanor Perlas Member
		There was the inauguration of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, in EDSA Shrine, as the new President of the Philippines.
		With the failure of government institutions, especially the Senate, Edsa Shrine became the parliament of the streets, the new center for democracy in the country.
		Edsa Shrine, where Arroyo took her oath of office, symbolizes that part of Peoples Power that can seriously engage government in the creation of a new Philippines.

		The bulk of the Edsa II participants were students (many from working-class families), while the bulk of the Edsa III participants were from the urban poor, the unemployed and the marginalised sectors of society—the poorest of the poor, or the "basement poor" according to some quarters.
		Edsa III should be read as a signal of the gathering disenchantment and disgust of the poor over their miserable situation rather than a mere demand for the reinstatement of an ousted president.
		During Edsa II, the CPP organisations were part of the "civil society" (a term now used by Philippine NGOs and social democratic groups to denote the participants of Edsa II) that initiated the mobilisation, but there was nothing revolutionary in their uncritical endorsement of GMA as a replacement for the Estrada regime.

		Bishop Socrates Villegas, the longtime guardian of the EDSA Shrine in Mandaluyong City, on Saturday gave up his historic charge to take up a new role as bishop of Balanga town in Bataan province.
		EDSA Shrine, I love you," he said to the applause of his former parishioners who braved the two-hour trek to witness the bishop's installation at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Balanga.
		Villegas, who was rector of the Shrine since its establishment in 1989, admitted an initial unwillingness to give it up but he said he knew that his duty was to go where God called.

	Edsa I and Edsa II Comparison
		In EDSA I, the people protested the massive election fraud during the Snap Presidential Elections held during the first week of February 1986.
		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.
		EDSA I was more of a solemn crusade, while EDSA II was more like a party.

	News Summaries on Selected Topics, Estrada Impeachment, April 2001
		Although the number of people at Edsa dwindled from a peak of more than 270,000 in the evening of April 26 to about 100,000 on Saturday evening, Estrada supporters are being transported from as far away as Mindanao and Palawan to reinforce the hard core of protesters at the Edsa Shrine.
		Speaking at this morning’s pro-Estrada rally at the Edsa Shrine, Enrile urged the Estrada supporters to storm the said television stations and hold continuous protest actions to deplore the networks’ "unbalanced" and "untruthful" reporting of the events transpiring at Edsa.
		Another reason the pro-Estrada crowd remains at Edsa, the Kongreso ng Mamamayang Pilipino II (Kompil II), said is that opposition Puwersa ng Masa candidates are turning the protest into a "miting de avance" (political meeting) to boost their chances in the May 14 elections.

		The poor people who were brought to the EDSA rising were either bussed in from the provinces by local politicos or workers from Metro Manila.
		Moreover most of the poor were paid, fed, and entertained to stay put at EDSA since they had no money on their own to sustain themselves and their families while watching the “revolution” unfold.
		To some political analysts EDSA I was no more than a case of what Wilfredo Pareto called the “circulation of the elite” or an uprising of the elite for the elite using the disaffected citizens as the excuse to capture political power from Marcos.

		The 10th anniversary of EDSA is just about three months away, and already I hear voices tilting with the truth and casting a different net about what happened February 22-25, 1986.
		Imelda Marcos contends that the late dictator was the real hero of EDSA because her late husband stopped his soldiery led by Gen. Fabian Ver from subjecting the huge human mass at EDSA to history's bloodiest massacre.
		EDSA came about because of a long string of events and happenings that built up like a blast furnace and an ignition system in the heart of the citizenry immediately after the assassination of Benigno Aquino Jr.

		The subsequent march of the anti-Estrada forces from the EDSA shrine to Malacañan Palace, meant to physically remove Estrada from that presidential palace, was spearheaded by mass organizations of the maoist movement taking directions from rightist military leaders.
		The pro-Estrada forces had also marched from the EDSA shrine, and the one-sided clashes at the Malacañan Palace gates, where several demonstrators were shot dead, became known as "EDSA-3".

		Yet another irony: It appeared to be a mirror image of the anti-Estrada protests, with the same location for the stage, political banners hanging from the overpass, and even the same songs -- Bayan Ko, for example, being sung with the same pain of the oppressed.
		Certainly, they were a far cry from the masa belonging to militant labor unions or people’s organizations, who can usually articulate a moral and political justification for their actions.
		Those interviewed at this Edsa farce simply insisted that Estrada committed no crimes, and incarceration was no way to treat their leader.

		People Power is revolutionary power; its logical conclusion was not permitted, because the logical conclusion of Edsa Dos was one of two things: a concrete resignation by the sitting president, or the proclamation of a new government, not beholden to the existing constitution, and starting again from scratch.
