| Summary: | The article systematically reflects on the Filipino People Power Revolution of 1986 under the illumination of theology. It contends that there can be no liberation apart from the beliefs and values of a people, with religion as their deepest source. The struggle against injustice and oppression must be united with a people's consciousness of their cultural rootedness, at the heart of which is their religion. The dynamics of culture and religion and its bearing on moral vision made the Filipino People Power Revolution possible and was the source of its nonviolent spirit. |
