In any case, People Power does not have to be an EDSA, with a million of us finding ourselves pouring out onto the streets guided by some unseen shepherding hand. People Power is about speaking truth, and taking the fight for it, to power.
In its first, and successful, staging, People Power was defined by a million citizens massing on the nation’s premier highway, EDSA, and keeping vigil to oust a dictator by peaceful protest. That was four decades ago, but, with the increasingly quickened pace of life since, it may seem not so long ago to those who took part in it.
To those born too late to have a conscious memory of it, on the other hand, People Power is of another world. Thanks, moreover, to a technology that allows their generation to live comfortably, risk-free, if virtually, in a world of their own, its legacy has gone unappreciated. And since the technology is here to stay, and continues to evolve, inexorably, blaming it is useless, in fact defeatist.
