Had millions not marched to EDSA in People Power, he wouldn’t have lived to nearly 101 today.
A generation hence, Rody Duterte is inciting the AFP to break away from Bongbong Marcos Jr. His spokesman said that active and retired generals had told Rody they plan to revolt. No identities.
Rody accuses BBM of cocaine addiction. His daughter VP Sara Duterte will most benefit from the President’s downfall.
Enrile taunts the shadowy generals: “My advice to [you] is to shop for a people-power toolkit, and start your game if you can. Revolution is no bluffing matter. It’s ultima ratio, no point of return, a zero-sum game. Either you win or you lose. That’s it.”
EDSA ’86 swept Cory Aquino to power. Nine times Marcos Sr. and Enrile loyalists alternately tried to unseat her. Each coup d’état cost millions of pesos to stage. Each failed.
EDSA-Dos toppled Joseph Estrada in 2001. Ally Enrile couldn’t save him from the AFP brass’ withdrawal of support.
Four months later at EDSA-Tres, Enrile screeched, “Lusubin ang Malacañang!” Drunk with gin and high on drugs, a mob staggered to the Palace. Two policemen were lynched. Mercenaries in civvies fired rifles to provoke Palace guards to shoot back. Riot ensued. When pulutan in designated food stalls ran out, the mob dispersed. Shabu supplier Albert Sy Española fled.
