Article: New People Power
Inquirer Headlines / Nation, Philippine
Daily Inquirer


The Philippines is known globally for
"people power", its non-violent method
of deposing dictators and corrupt heads
of state. First there was People Power 1
that ended the Marcos dictatorship in
1986. Then there was People Power 2 that
toppled the corrupt regime of President
Joseph Estrada. So the nation felt a
surge of energy when Archbishop Angel
Lagdameo, the President of the highly
influential Catholic Bishops Conference
of the Philippines (CBCP), even if he
was speaking for himself, publicly
endorsed the idea of a new kind of
People Power. A key question remains,
however. What are the ingredients of
this new kind of People Power?
