A Philippine term for active nonviolence, alay dangal means “to offer dignity.” Although the expression only came into limited use during the Philippines People Power movement, many of the people’s actions were quite representative of this ideal. By treating dictator Marcos’ soldiers as fellow human beings who were suffering under an oppressive regime and by offering them food and water and pleasant conversation, the Filipinos who led the uprising, which culminated in the EDSA nonviolent moment, exemplified the nonviolent drive to connect with the dignity of the “other.”
