The Demonita and the Architect

Mrs. Arroyo, the lucky beneficiary of the EDSA II, choose to ignore EDSA I celebrities today. According to her deputy spokesperson Lorelei Fajardo, Mrs. Arroyo will, instead, go to a job fair and spend the rest of the day musing. That's amusing, to say the least. Though a fence-sitter during those historic times, the least that we expect of her is just put makeup on her puffy face and try to smile while there.

On the other hand, Mrs. Arroyo should very well be out there. She's the Mistress of the Dark Forces who want to demonize the Spirit of EDSA. She has given her piece every year, to the chagrin of those who took part and sacrificed their very lives for the restoration of democracy.

I just had a text chat with one of the architects of the EDSA I revolution. He said that we must continue the struggle that they started twenty four years ago. There is so much promise with the Youth of today that it is imperative for those who still believe in the Cause to organize them and turn them into a potent force for change.

And I believe him, knowing him personally all these years. He's still very much active in the service, devoted as he is to public service while I, am still involved in media work, albeit, serving the interests of the People.

So, one wants to exorcise the Spirit while the other wants to still pursue the Cause of the Spirit of EDSA. One sacrificed his life for the sake of the many; while the other one can be likened to a lotto winner who just fence sitted her stubby ass for a time and waited for that time to emerge winner of the biggest loot in history.
