People who say that EDSA People Power is a failure and blame government for it should re-examine their understanding of People Power.
While it is true that very little or even nothing much has changed in the lives of many of our people, the responsibility for effecting change rests on the People. It can not be franchised to government or anybody. Our mistake is to believe that we can do so.
I will not say that EDSA People Power is a failure. Rather, I consider it still as a work in progress. But for its promise and potential to be realized, we must correct our understanding of it.
People Power is not about telling government what to do, but showing government what to do and how.
