In the Public Square: After the rallies, opposition unity?

Over the weekend of November 29 and 30, anti-corruption protests lit up the country. Just like on September 21, the two biggest were those in Luneta and EDSA: Baha sa Luneta 2.0 and Trillion Peso March Part 2.

Unfortunately, but also inevitably, the lack of opposition unity became part of the story. Partially, because there were two major rallies. And partially because Cardinal Ambo David, speaking at Edsa, chose to draw a line in the sand.

In this episode of In the Public Square, Rappler columnist John Nery is joined by the two members of the organizing committees of the Luneta and Edsa rallies.

Dr. Sylvia Claudio, an MD and a PhD, is a professor at the UP College of Social Work and Community Development. She is a co-convenor of Tindig Pilipinas and a co-organizer of the Trillion Peso March at the People Power Monument.

Mae Paner is a performance artist of long standing, better known to many by her character Juana Change. She is the founder of KAWA Pilipinas and a co-organizer of the Baha sa Luneta rally.
