"View of Malacanang - The Fall" This picture shows a couple ejected unceremoniously from Malacanang by the combined forces of the people, the military and the church. A hole in the ground under the palace shows a stash of hidden wealth hinting at the reason for the couple's fall.
I like this picture because it is a reminder to our leaders of the fate that can await them if they incur the people's ire. Sadly however, People Power has been a much misunderstood and misused idea that people seem to have lost faith in it.
But I myself have not lost faith in this idea. Even if the first two people power did not achieve its promise beyond replacing faces of our political leaders, I am still waiting for the last People Power that will bring the genuine change that our country and people need.
