EDSA, 38 Years After

On this day in 1986, 38 years ago, the victory belonged to the masses, as they toppled over the dictator that is Ferdinand Marcos Sr. 21 years after his presidency, and, almost 14 years after the declaration of the Martial Law, the people have had enough of his cruelty!

Considered a "bloodless revolution," not much violence went on among the masses as they unite and fight against the regime.

And so the winner is a woman! Corazon "Cory" Aquino becomes the next president (and the first female president) of the Philippines! She is the spouse of Benigno Aquino Jr., or Ninoy, who perished under an assassination in 1983. TIME Magazine named her Woman of The Year in 1986!

What's with the L? There are many symbols that came with the revolution. The L hand symbol is a sign for "Laban," meaning "Fight" in Filipino. Sadly, this has been desecrated by people who uses L as "Loser."

And why yellow? his is because of the presence of yellow ribbons in the revolution, a reference to the song "Tie A Yellow Ribbon." This symbol, too, has been desecrated by Israel to play the victim game.

This song has also been the anthem of the revolution! I cannot find the original version but here's one of the most famous renditions.

I feel like I can never do my explanations for this event any justice, but it's always dear to my heart. Whenever I get sick and tired of fighting for this country due to corruption, my motivation are the people who fought for our freedom from the cruel Marcos regime.

And with Marcos' son in power, we have to make stronger reinforcements. We must prevent the repetition of the cruelty from his father's rule. Laban!

This photo book is comprised of statements by participants and observers of the nonviolent 'people power' revolution. Events are shown and described chronologically, beginning with Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino's return to Manila in August 1983, his assassination and funeral (the latter turning into the first major anti-Marcos demonstration), and ending with a photo of Corazon Aquino addressing an ecstatic throng. The 247 pictures collected here, many taken by amateurs, are alternately scary, touching, and inspiring. Included are shots of citizens guarding ballot boxes against government goons, crowds shielding reformist soldiers against loyalist task forces, and people attempting to disarm the Marcos troops with flowers.

Let's us all hope and wish for a good turn out with the vote counting for PPRVC and in hope they would count with accuracy.

I would like to state, I do vote for Leni and Kiko because I have faith and trust in them that they would help our country(Philippines) flourish. But it's more than just me wanting for Leni to lead, it's me voting for a leader who will prioritize its people benefits than themselves; it's me thinking for my future, our youths, and our country's future. And I am willing to March down the streets who also think the same!

Pls to those who vote for BBM and Sarah, I wish I could respect your choices but I simply can't because you are voting for a man with the same blood of the same man who killed and tortured thousands of Filipinos'.

We cannot let history repeat and we cannot forget our history.

Just because martial law never effected your life now or before does not mean it never happened. Please re-educate yourself and inform yourself with truths and facts.

Senator Imee Marcos in a recent Forum held by the Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) revealed that the Foreign-assisted Flagship and other Infrastructure Projects have little or no funding under this Administration of Bong Bong Marcos (BBM), which will lead to delays and endanger the Legacy of Infrastructure-building by the Marcos Family

Oras de Peligro at Cine Adarna of the UPFI Film Center this February 24 Friday 5 p.m.!

“With outstanding direction and riveting screenplay and a superb acting ensemble, Oras de Peligro is easily the most powerful film of the decade.

“The eerie silence from its audience before the screen credits is ominous.

“When they break out into deafening applause at the end, (it) means the film can stand with one of the outstanding feature films of the decade.” - From published review by Pablo Tariman of the latest film by Joel Lamangan

Oras de Peligro screens for a premier state university premiere on the eve of the 37th anniversary of the toppling of the Marcos dictatorship.

Finally, got a Beep card! Me thinking they decided to have it in stock again after posts on social media that some people were hoarding and selling them for a higher price 😒. Manila really has one of the worst public transportation in the world.
