A Blast For All

February 25, 2006

A few days ago, an explosion occurred in the grounds of what was supposed to be the most secured place in the Philippines: THE MALACANANG PALACE. Alot of questions were raised that included the possibility of a military coup.

Officals claimed it was nothing but a chemical combustion, some hooligans though proudly exclaimed that they were the fighters out to destabilize the government.

The noise from that blast can still be heard today. And it received a strong response from the Commander in Chief: "I AM PLACING THE ENTIRE NATION IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY".

February 25, 1986 was the day when the Filipinos showed the world how we fought for our democracy. It wasn’t through a bloody coup nor with the use of a countryside revolt. We regained our freedom by the power of our prayers and a united resolve.

20 years after we are once again called to EDSA. Not to topple the government or unseat the dictatorial ruler. But rather, to protect our REPUBLIC from the evil doers hiding in the facade of nobility. Who among those politicians can gallantly announce at the Business Square that they have no personal interest in their call for the President to resign? I have been a critic of the way our leaders are sworn into power. We are a society bounded by the rule of law. How come we are caught in a dilemma where we have to choose which side we are on?

EDSA was a historic and unprecedented event. It changed the way the world looked at our people. However, it weakened our nation in a manner we never imagined. Now, we have to face the fire. 

Which side are you on? Left, Right or Center?

A Blast For ALL . . .
