See you for the Binalot Talk on 07th February, 12:00pm. Shinji Miyagawa of the Faculty of Foreign Studies, Sophia University and Third World Studies Center, University of the Philippines will give a talk titled 'The price of civil disobedience in the EDSA revolution: From the case of “nonpayment of Meralco bill”'.

This session is onsite only.

Cory Aquino called for civil disobedience during the EDSA revolution. One way of civil disobedience was the nonpayment of electricity bills to Meralco, which was then controlled by the Marcos cronies. After the revolution, however, civil disobedience deteriorated people's morale on electricity use, resulting in an increase in electricity pilferage.
