Today is holiday, 30th EDSA people’s power celebration. I’m not much into
politics whether I’m in favour of the Marcoses or the Aquinos. What I want to
amplify here is that Filipinos were able to unite for a common cause ---
Freedom.

When I was in grade school my teacher told us that
Philippines was known for EDSA as the bloodless revolution, a record breaking history
after the death of Ninoy Aquino. What do we have in mind when we say
revolution? Isn’t it a mass
destruction, bombing is present here and there, uncertainty, chaos is all
around where people are at the losing end.

Despite of limited media exposure, Filipinos were
able to gather together and call for one aim. Unite as one avoiding any blood to
shed on street along EDSA. I believe that God was in control of everything.
Prayers and faith meant a lot
for each and every one to sustain a peaceful revolt. Being conscious, aware and informed made all Filipinos to come together, bring closer and selflessly think of themselves but for the good of each and everyone’s lives. No one wants to be dead. They wanted Peace. They wanted to see their future children to grow and live a peaceful life. And I am one of them.

It’s been 30 years. Recalling history, in war,
there’s no poor, rich, educated,
uneducated; everyone is equal. Everyone is a loser. No one is a winner. Who
says to the missiles, please don’t drop it at home. Who can stop the bomb for
not falling it into your feet? Who knows that a bullet will not bang into your
head, into your heart, into your body? Despite of fear, love conquers it all.
The love of our parents to be in EDSA gave birth to our freedom today.

In this simple note, I want to encourage everyone
that despite of world’s worldly condition, we must have to be united and stand
on the common ground. We have to fight what is right, pleasing, acceptable and
perfect will of God; remember if God is with us, who can be against us (Romans
8:21).
NOTHING. The works of Satan will not succeed.

To all the heroes of EDSA, you are all worth
remembering. =)
