People Power Coalition

People Power Coalition (PPC), formerly called "EDSA Forces",[2] was a Philippine administration-based political multi-party electoral alliance in the May 14, 2001 midterm legislative elections.

The coalition was created after the EDSA Revolution of 2001 that ousted Joseph Estrada from the presidency.

The coalition included Lakas–Christian Muslim Democrats,[3] the United Muslim Democrats of the Philippines, Liberal Party, the Nationalist People's Coalition, Aksyon Demokratiko,[3] Nacionalista Party, Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan, Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma–Lapiang Manggagawa,[3] the Probinsya Muna Development Initiative,[3] and numerous major regional and party-list political parties.

Arroyo presented the PPC senatorial slate as members of "good governance" and "new politics".

[5] The Coalition devised an acronym for the 13 senatorial candidates of PPC which is: VOT FOR D CHAMMP (stands for Vote for the Champ or Champion) V for Villar; O for Osmeña; T for Tañada, F for Flavier; O for Obet, R for Recto; D for Drilon; C for Chato; H for Herrera; A for Arroyo; M for Monsod; M for Magsaysay; and P for Pangilinan.
