LOOK BACK: Campaigns to set up a revolutionary gov't in the Philippines

The idea of a “revolutionary government” is again being floated under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, even if it has yet to have a legal definition.

In almost every administration since Marcos, opposition groups have called for the ouster of their respective governments, but it was during former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s time that groups came up with concrete models of a revolutionary government. When former president Joseph “Erap” Estrada was ousted from office in 2001, the Supreme Court had to decide whether or not Arroyo’s presidency was constitutional. Estrada's supporters called it a revolutionary government.

of the Philippine Navy told reporters it was “not a coup d'etat, we are not attempting to grab power, we are just trying to express our grievances against this government.”In June 2005, the “Hello Garci” scandal erupted. Arroyo was accused of coordinating with then-elections commissioner Virgilio Garcillano to tamper with the 2004 election results.

Abat’s version would have a revolutionary council, headed by a commander-in-chief chosen by the military and police. The council would focus on maintaining peace and order. There would also be a revolutionary government headed by a chief executive officer to be chosen by civil society groups. The CEO would focus on instituting reforms.

Even then-San Juan mayor Jose Victor Ejercito, son of the ousted president Estrada, backed proposals for a possible revolutionary government after Arroyo. Ejercito proposed that there would be a council with 9 to 15 members who would represent major sectors: business, workers, farmers, youth, and political parties.
