Today, there are no exiles but the words are still familiar. I wonder how much micro organism from fastfood joints did we gulp for us to forget the love for our country? How many hours of internet and games and entertainment have we immersed ourselves into to forget the sacrifices of other people just for the democracy we are enjoying now?
How many kaching and sweet atm withdrawal machine sound do we have to hear to say that I'll do my country some good this time, I've had my share of the local economy...?
I wonder if other people did their usual things and not care... will our lives...your life...mine, and other people...would be as fine?
I have my own gameplan...it may not be through the streets but I know I'll get there someday and I'll help the country in my own little way...I hope everyone else is thinking the same...But honestly, being in the street stirs up your patriotism so its always a good place to get some inspiration. :D
Now that the EDSA icons are dead, Cory, Cardinal Sin...who will we look up to for strength for direction? I am not as familiar with the EDSA Revolution before since I wasn't fully aware of things yet despite being born already...but as I've heard the people just stormed the streets...unguided by advanced technology and media since the local scene is controlled. It's weird that now we have all the technology, we are more lazy to show our gameface.
I cannot blame Noynoy for saying in television interviews that he is not a super martyr who'll sacrifice everything for deomcracy like his dad, and then leave his son the same fate (if ever he'll have one) after another decade or two.
How many Aquinos do we have to sacrifice? and is it even their responsibility in the first place? shouldn't we all chip in for the country's sake? After all there are around 90 million Pinoys according to NSO's estimate.
The ball is now in our hands, let's not spoil our chance.
