People know that there are people who'll directly benefit from People Power 3 (or 4), e.g., JDV... And these people are NOT "WORTH DYING FOR"--though they be Filipinos (apologies to Ninoy).

ABSOLUTELY NOT! America taught Democracy to us Filipinos; but we Filipinos taught people power to the world. Was EDSA 2 People Power ousting Erap a mistake? ABSOLUTELY NOT! We Filipinos always want our government to be accountable! The power of the government emanates from the people. Does ousting Gloria Macapagal Arroyo through People Power a mistake? Again, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Why? We Filipinos just have to do it untiringly again and again, and as fast as possible so that all would be kurakots in our country will be eradicated sooner. Time is gold. Probably, there may be more people power revolts ahead of us to finally get rid or at least turn away the pests in our midst. No more warm bodies joining the people power? We should ask this question partly to the righteous owners and executives in our business communities who are swift to terminate an employee for theft, but lukewarm or just tolerate the big time kurakots in our government. One executive commands the respect of so many employees below him/her. Why not encourage and give the workers a break to join the Filipino People Power? Indeed, evil triumphs when good men fail to act! Was EDSA 1 People Power ousting Marcos a mistake? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
