Friends and foe alike,
This blog can also be seen at http://www.filipinovoices.com. This new site features all the political commentators of our times. Read it and be illuminated.
It is time for consolidation, a time for every voice to be heard. It is time for us to enrich people's knowledge of what's happening around us. It is even time to influence or effect change through the power of megabytes.
Government policies should be reflective of the will of the people. That's the fundamental principle in policy-making. Departing from the usual base of the law, policy-makers should not rely entirely on quantitative data. Qualitative data is more relevant.
Filipinovoices.com aims to do just that--give its piece to the most relevant news of the time. This is history in the making. And we, the people, should be a part of that.
I always tell my friends and my former students this--instead of going to the mountains to fight a regime, struggle should be within the regime's boundaries. Fight it in its terms. Fight it where it manifests itself the most--in the center of power.
The blogsphere is the new Sierra Madre, the new Red Square, the new site of the Revolution. Let's start a new revolution by changing people's perceptions of things around them. Engage people to debate, to think and to take action. A rational act is more substantive than an emotional one.
I sense that, in the near future, another EDSA will be forthcoming. Yes, beyond the conspiracy theories, beyond the controlled news, beyond everything superficial that appears in our society, there's a brewing undercurrent of dissent waiting, wanting to explode. Yes, the people have matured. Yes, the people are ready. Yes, the New Philippine Revolution has started.
