I beg to dis agree w/you nga si Juan ug Juana ang nag effort to restore democracy&freedom in this country kay if it's true then during the 70's pa unta wagtang na ang mga Marcos it was the assasination of Ninoy that woke up juan&juana to the reality that Marcos can do anything to hold on to power&it was Cory who united the fragmented opposistion in the 86 snap election against Marcos&during the People Power Revolution it was her in the front line I know co'z i was part of it&the juan&juana draw strength from her if not for Ninoy&Cory would the people rally behind the like of Doy Laurel or Enrile the ans would be a big NO btw were were you during that time?I would just like to give credit were credit is due if your opinion is adverse from mine then I rspect it I hope you would also respect mine.........

@pewee I was a mere boy when martial law was declared brad I have no recollection of it during the 70's but in the 80's when I was a teenager I was aware that politics was just controlled by just 1 man Marcos society was very divided even w/in the families mine was no exception there were dinners when we engage in arguments bec my Lolo&Father were Marcos loyalist&me in the other hand is oppose to them during the 80's I started to go to rallies&beaten up by the police or military those were the dark days esp when Ninoy sa assasinated in 83' I also a Namfrel volunteer in the 86' snap Election&I witness 1st hand the violence&intimidation during election day esp the Danao a known Marcos country were Cory got 0 votes I was part of the revolution in 86 that's why I hate when people choose to forget history&just being passive but i can't also blame them esp those who are born after 86 co'z they never experience it 1st hand they just know it in books but I hope we give credit were credit is due.................

historical revisionism.

@Renz8, I respect your opinion. Wala ko first hand experience sa Martial Law kay dos anyos pa lang ko pagkahitabo sa EDSA Revolution. Pero I think dili man sad kinahanglan first hand experience ang basehan to know the history of our country.

Managlahi lang ta panglantaw ug baruganan sa kinabuhi. Pero pareha ra man ta nagpakabana sa kaugmaon sa atong nasud. So move-on na lang ta.

@sakagawasan like I said brad I respect your opininon

@pewee yes kadto ra nag rally ang g pang kulata but still the civilian population@that time cower w/fear that's why wala sila kaisog mo apil2x besides walay tao nga mo lead nila since Ninoy was in excile in the US!My Lolo&Father was a loyalist bec my Lolo was a police officer PC/INP that time&my father was a businessmen who had dealings w/government so naturally they would be bias w/Marcos........
