    A Nationwide Revolution

    In 1905 the massacre of innocent people during a peaceful protest outside the winter palace in St Petersburg sparked the start of a nationwide revolution. This mass murder of the innocent protestors became known as ‘Bloody Sunday’. During the revolution strikes occurred across the nation involving more than 400,000 people, peasants attacked and raided the homes of their landlords and the Tsar’s uncle, the Grand Duke Sergei, was assassinated. Although Bloody Sunday was the immediate reason for the revolution, there were several causes which had caused long term grievances towards the Tsarist regime among the population of Russia leading up to 1905. These include the developments in the countryside and the lives of the peasants, the treatment of the inner-city working class and ethnic minorities, the repression and growth of the political opposition and the impact of the Russo Japanese war. Although all these factors contributed to the initiation of a revolution in Russia, I believe that the attitudes towards and treatment of the working class and the peasants was the most prominent reason for the uprising in 1905.…

    Reaction Papers

    Malacanang has declared February 25 as a special holiday for all schools nationwide. People Power Day or Araw ng People Power is a school holiday. This is in commemoration of the 1986 People Power Revolution. Senator Gregorio Honasan, a former rebel soldier, was one of the major figures in the 1986 EDSA Revolution. As the anniversary of the 1986 EDSA revolution approaches, he thinks that there is no reason yet to "celebrate" its anniversary. For now, the Philippines can only "commemorate it." "Siguro i-commemorate na lang muna hanggang hindi pa natin nakakamit yung mga tunay na pagbabago," he told reporters on Tuesday, February 22. Honasan said the promises of good governance and systemic changes that EDSA I sought to bring "are long in coming." But he said EDSA I may have inspired or even prompted a wave of popular uprisings in the Middle East. "Ayaw naman nating i-claim yung credit," he said, "but we have to accept the fact that 25 yearsago, we were state of the art in revolutions. Nobody can deny that." Honasan is currently pushing for the Freedom of Information Bill in the Senate. In addition, one of the veterans of the Edsa People Power I Revolution vividly recalls his experiences during the historic event that toppled a dictator 25 years ago and restored democracy in the country. and Cesar Sarino one of the officials of the People Power Commission (PPC), narrates how democracy-loving Filipinos converged at Edsa to call for a change in…

    “People Power Empowerment: Position Paper:

    Last February 25, the Filipino people once again commemorated the People Power Revolution on its twenty-sixth year. Such national event has made a mark in the history being known as a bloodless revolution which other countries attempted to do as well. For the masses, it was the ultimate symbol of the true empowerment of democracy. Having ousted a so-called tyrant through the unity of the Filipino people and without any bloodshed, the EDSA Revolution manifested that power does lie on the hands of the masses. It may have meant a success for some, especially to Marcos’ enemies, but the real question is, “Did the People Power Revolution really give us freedom? Change?…
