Ah, the dawn of a new “People Power” in Davao City—where the masses rally not for democracy, but for the divine right of a man facing an international

arrest warrant. Back in 1986, two million Filipinos toppled a dictator, but today, Davao’s entire population might just shut down the city to protect a fugitive pastor. 

Imagine the scene: the whole city grinding to a halt, businesses closed, and traffic at a standstill—all to preserve the freedom of someone whose “Kingdom” is threatened not by tyrants, but by legal subpoenas. 

EDSA 1 took on tanks and tyranny, but Davao’s version is apparently about defending a different kind of kingdom, one that’s more celestial—or perhaps just celestial in its audacity. Because why fight for democracy when you can fight for a kingdom built on divine intervention and questionable investments?
