Mama Mary says, "Do not kill my people!"

Amazingly cool:

The following account of supernatural apparitions at the time of the political upheaval is provided by author and television personality June Keithley, and recounted in Meetings with Mary: Visions of the Blessed Mother, by Janice T. Connell. Keithley’s news crew broadcast the extraordinary outpouring of peaceful, religiously driven demonstrations. Protesters carried statues of “Mama Mary” and offered garlands of flowers to armed soldiers, or lay down bravely in the paths of government vehicles to stop them. Food and drink were freely shared, even with the soldiers in the Presidential bunkers. Then, suddenly— A “Beautiful Woman encased in immense bright light and dressed as a nun,” appeared. Her beauty, said Keithley, “stunned” her. The light dazzled onlookers. The Woman stood before the tanks to disperse them, then extended her arms outward and spoke in a voice that was clearly audible to everyone. “‘Do not kill my people!’ Immediately the soldiers disarmed themselves. This took place on live television. Elsewhere, thousands of exuberant Filipinos took to the streets, many believing that the Divine Mary had arrived. President Marcos evacuated that same night.
