Cry for What We Lost
Just posted among the links a video made shortly after the EDSA Revolution. Be sure to check it out because it will make you cry. I left the country a few years after those heady times when everything seemed so bright and hopeful. There had to be only good days to come. Boy, was I wrong.
This is what happens when we stray from our ideals. When we compromise on our ethics hoping to achieve ephemeral profit. Even then they sang about unity and freedom and truth and heroism and responsibility towards the poor (recall the image of the emaciated child?). How green was our Valley then.

The way I see it, the EDSA revolution is not really a road (pun intended): it's not the means to get anywhere. The EDSA revolution only showed us a "way out." It does not tell us what to do when we've walked out that door.
