i think we failed her. and in so doing, we failed our country. she started the fight.but we did not finish. fight for freedom is not a one-man show. and for us to prosper, we have to collectively work for it.
it is the people who put these corrupt politicians in their offices. it’s not her.
i was a high school freshman when the people’s revolution of 1986 happened. that was the year of my political and social awakening or whatever you call it. that was the time when i was so proud to be called a filipino. because of cory. because of this one very ordinary woman who rosed and united the filipinos to fight and defeat tyranny that was reigning us.
i still am proud to be called a filipino up to now. i am still carrying that torch that she had lit 23 years ago. that torch of hope that no tyrant can defeat us if we fight it. i hope everyone of us will keep that fire alive in our hearts. i hope people will realize that quest for democracy doesn’t stop when tyrants are defeated. we have to work for it everyday, every minute. and for our lives to prosper, we have to work for it.
