                    [Summary] => It may seem far-fetched, but worth considering – an EDSA people power revolt is not very different from a people’s initiative. The two are more similar than we want to think. Indeed a people’s initiative was put in the 1987 Constitution precisely so EDSA 1 could be institutionalized. There were concerns then that continuous reliance on massing people in the streets each time there was dissatisfaction with government was not only debilitating, it could be dangerous. We were lucky the first time it was peaceful but even then it teetered on the brink of violence.

It is America which has to prove that it can be a leader worthy of modern challenges. This is especially true of Philippine-American relations which needs to cope with historical memories.
