MANILA: It was “flower power” in the 60s, “people power” in the 80s, and now, activists are pinning their hopes on “panty power”. 

Women activists hurled thongs, red bikinis, even granny underwear at the Myanmar Embassy in Makati City on Friday, in an odd but culturally relevant protest targeting the military junta’s violent crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations in the reclusive nation.
