Revolution

Arroyo's audacity has attained new heights.

Reports have stated that 10,000 people calling for PGMA's ouster. However, a colleague of mine states that there might be as much as 20,000 people rallying in Makati today.

The Palace has released several press statements insulting the movement, saying that people are "tired of destabilization" and that progressive mass actions are "waning in number."

This may be true, but the releases are obviously geared to dishearten the Filipinos.

And ultimately, these words will remain true unless the Filipinos unite.

However, if and when a revolution pushes through, Filipinos must remember to never make the same mistakes again and again. To replace the ruling few with yet another member of the pack will be erroneous. The country's problems will perpetually manifest if the system remains the same.

Allow me to quote Buklod's Tatsulok (revived by Bamboo).

Habang may tatsulok, at sila ang nasa tuktok, di matatapos itong gulo.

No truer words can explain the persisting problems of Philippine society.

What are you waiting for?

Revolutions are not miracles--they are the result of constant struggle for what is right.

So long as we remain pliant and yielding to the ruling system, nothing will change.
