Well, it was 6 years before I was born, there was a huge change in the people's eyes that they see the future will be bright and to see that future was for Marcos to step down after 21-year reign. They were tired of poverty, of corruption, of stealing, of conniving, and all of that. It was a peaceful protest, yellow everywhere and it all ended as part of history that used to be followed by other countries such as Germany, Czech Republic and the recent Egypt. Bahrain, Yemen and Libya continues to do the same thing but yeah, it's sort of violent compared to our revolution that the world saw first. Democracy.



I wasn't born before 1986 but since I was a kid, I know the true story of what happened from the 1980's up to the day of EDSA I Revolution. It was all about Ninoy vs. Ferdinand. Ninoy had to sacrifice his life for the good of the country and yet, this country is a free country.

I just want to ask one thing though, after 25 years of making history, what happened to our country after 5 administrations. Did we obtain the "change" that we were looking for 25 years ago? Yes, four administrations tried but I must say, the possibility is in its little chance. Yes, the peso is higher, inflation rate goes on a rose, major commodities in all-time high, tuition fees in a major uprising, and stuff. It just worsen what the Philippines was before. Two pesos is to one U.S. dollar, 2nd most advanced country in the 1960's next to Japan, low prices of the major commodities and all of that.

If we try to commemorate what just happened 25 years ago, we can still remember that we fought for it and we continue to fight for it. I was referring to the major problems we need to surpass, for the sake of our people and our Motherland.



Well, if you have dreams you want to obtain, or changes you want for our country for the good of the many, why don't you just be inspired and take a look at the EDSA Shrine. Just imagine how hundreds and thousands of people rushed for one goal. Democracy and Change.

Thank God I Am A Filipino!
