Estrada tried a few ploys to regain power like calling for yet anotherpeoples revolution but it was for naught. GMA quickly set aboutconsolidating her power and she allowed the American military back intothe country as part of the war on terror. In 2004 she ran for reelectionagainst an ensemble cast of characters that included another ex-actor,Fernando Poe Jr, and won by 1.1 million votes. Or did she? Shortlythereafter a recording emerged that purported to capture GMA orderingthat the election be fixed. Political opponents seized on this and for thenext year, much of the governments time was spent debating the chargesof election fraud. GMAs opponents tried to raise the ire of the public but perhaps jaded by the outcomes of previous revolutions, the populacemostly stayed off the streets.
