EDSA 1 concluded peacefully not because of cory,the priests or the nuns. It was bec. of marcos who refused to give the order to fire. Kun tinuod pani na diktador si marcos gi ligsan nato to sila sa mga tanke pareha sa nahitabo didto sa china. Pero si cory the supposedly mother of democracy kay nag patawag og airstrike against sa mga nag coup d'état pero gi balibaran sa us forces.

An excerpt from the book -In My Time by former US Vice President Dick Cheney.

"AS WE MONITORED EVENTS in Panama throughout the fall of 1989, we were also dealing with a potential coup in the Philippines. On November 30 we started getting reports that rebels opposed to the rule of Corazon Aquino had seized air bases belonging to the Filipino government. We also received a request from President Aquino to bomb the rebel positions. I did not believe we should agree to do this-nor did General Powell. For one thing, President Aquino made it clear she would publicly deny having made the request. Asking the United States to bomb Filipino citizens,even if they were rebels, would not go well inside her own country"--So much for the Saint Cory Aquino!!

Si Ver gani ni ask for an order to fire on the crowd. Marcos refused.

A dictator who refused to slaughter protesting civilians vs a "saint" who was responsible for the massacre of protesting farmers.

Hmmm....

My father would always, always remind us: The Mendiola Massacre must not be forgotten. He never told us why. Just one thing: my father was a farmer before he came to Cebu.

The beginning of rolling blackouts, power shortage, welga ng bayan and the steep slide to the bottom...



Katawa nalang si Lee Kuan Yew o..

People only have power if they have good paying job/livelihood. We need economic progress not a fake democracy created by the oligarchs and selfish politicians for themselves.

Through economic success, we get real power.

Gi demonize sa media si marcos but the media conveniently left out the part of marcos's refusal to massacre the civilians. Matod pa ni enrile na ang weakness ra gyud ni marcos kay iyang hilig sa mga material things. Maskin ingato si marcos naa cya vision para sa phillipines mao nindot ato economy nato kato na time. Si marcos sad pinaka ballsy na leader kay cya ra ni attempt og sakop balik sa sabah na naa karon sa malaysia gi baraw man gud sa traidor na si ninoy. I used to hate the marcoses before and praise the aquinos but everything changed when I stopped relying on our mainstream media.

I don't think she was responsible for that, but maybe she should be held responsible for covering it up and protecting the people involved.

Mao nah, Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. So if our current president is begging for absolute power, we know aha na padung.
