...politicians and the public have also distorted People Power, using its catalyzing effect not to overthrow dictators but to dissolve democracies. A second EDSA uprising in 2001 against elected President Joseph Estrada cheapened the impact of its noble forerunner.

...stranded tourists strolled off the roadway and into the lodgepole pine forest, now lush with colorful alpine wildflowers amid the new trees and burned logs from the great wildfires of 1988.
