The real EDSA---twenty five years past. And Filipinos just want a holiday

The EDSA People Power revolt will remain in our memory as an event where everyone went out of their comfort zones to express their thirst for change. After twenty years living under a dictatorship, the people went out in the streets to topple a dictatorship. Most of them who went there really wanted change. 


Twenty five years past and the quest for change remains. There is no single time in the life of this nation where no one actually desires in his heart for real change to happen. Every single one who does not belong to the elite, always want change to really happen in this country.


Twenty five years and things remain the same. The stark reality can be seen at EDSA. Look at those roads. They show you the real EDSA, the real condition of this country.


The only ones harping that this EDSA was a success were those who benefited from the political succession. 


EDSA started as a pure people's revolt. After the fall of Marcos, the deterioration of this country began. 


The lesson of EDSA is simple---do not let the elites hijack the whole damn thing.


Instead of one, we are now fighting thousands of savage, hungry, and egotistic demons in barong all waiting to devour our precious taxes. These hungry sonafabitches prey on our weakness. They steal our monies big-time. They don't settle for millions. They are now gunning for billions of pesos worth of loot.


The real EDSA lies in every Pinoy's heart. Yet, look at this year's celebration. You don't see ordinary Filipinos really smiling and really happy about this.


Filipinos just want a holiday. We are sick and tired of the elites celebrating something as EDSA. Why are they celebrating and we, the People, are not? Because they are celebrating the time when they were able to bring themselves back to power. 


Another lesson of EDSA----don't be misled by the ruse of the elite. Traditional elite families rule this country with impunity. Marcos tried to cast them out. EDSA brought them all back again. Example--the Lopezes, and all the rest of Congress and the Senate. These underachievers now rule this country, and look what is happening.
