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!

Never forget the children of Iraq. Never forget the children of Syria. Never forget the children of Yemen. Never forget the children of Libya.

And never forget the children of Palestine, gone far too soon with each second the US not only remains complicit in their ongoing genocide, but actively funds it.

Never forget.
