WATCH: Sr Mary John Mananzan reacts to youth’s views on People Power
The activist nun reads – and reacts to – the youth's tweets and Facebook posts about the EDSA revolution

Sister Mary John Mananzan, a nun of the Benedictine Order, is no stranger to unrest in the streets. A known activist, the former president of St Scholastica’s College joined protest marches against the Marcos dictatorship.

“During the time of Marcos, I had been very active in what they call parliament of the streets at that time,” she said. Mananzan attended workers’ strikes and protest rallies – a far cry from the stereotype of cloistered nuns.

For the 30th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution, Rappler’s MovePH conducted a conversation on both Facebook and Twitter to get the youth to share their thoughts on a pivotal point in Philippine history.

Does Mananzan agree – or disagree – with the prevailing sentiments they posted and tweeted? Watch on Rappler.  Rappler.com
