On August 21, 1983, when Ninoy Aquino was assassinated on the tarmac, millions of Filipinos realized that collectively, WE could be instrumental in creating fundamental changes in our condition if we ALL UNITED for a COMMON CAUSE.
26 years after this sacrifice, we are still far from achieving all the changes we had hoped for. Our country has become one of the poorest in the world, our citizens forced to seek employment outside of the country, our natural resources continue to be plundered.
We had again lost hope.
Cory Aquino was our Obama, but her ideals were not fully realized, and subsequently buried under traditional politicians' agenda.
I place here a reminder for us; part of Ninoy's undelivered speech:
"So as to leave no room for misunderstanding, I shall define my terms:
1. Six years ago, I was sentenced to die before a firing squad by a Military Tribunal whose jurisdiction I steadfastly refused to recognize. It is now time for the regime to decide. Order my IMMEDIATE EXECUTION OR SET ME FREE.
I was sentenced to die for allegedly being the leading communist leader. I am not a communist, never was and never will be.
2. National reconciliation and unity can be achieved but only with justice, including justice for our Muslim and Ifugao brothers. There can be no deal with a Dictator. No compromise with Dictatorship.
3. In a revolution there can really be no victors, only victims. We do not have to destroy in order to build.
4. Subversion stems from economic, social and political causes and will not be solved by purely military solutions; it can be curbed not with ever increasing repression but with a more equitable distribution of wealth, more democracy and more freedom, and
5. For the economy to get going once again, the workingman must be given his just and rightful share of his labor, and to the owners and managers must be restored the hope where there is so much uncertainty if not despair.
On one of the long corridors of Harvard University are carved in granite the words of Archibald Macleish:
How shall freedom be defended? By arms when it is attacked by arms; by truth when it is attacked by lies; by democratic faith when it is attacked by authoritarian dogma. Always, and in the final act, by determination and faith.
I return from exile and to an uncertain future with only determination and faith to offer faith in our people and faith in God."
Cory's passing away has jolted most of us from our apathy once more, and hope rekindled seeing our country once again moved by the spirit they embodied.
Alarmed by politicians' attempts to sidetrack our country, I call on Filipinos to petition Noynoy Aquino to lead our country out of the quagmire of bureaucracy, and bring back the people's agenda to the forefront of our government.
It is time for us to select our leaders, based not on what ads they air or gimmicks they may put up,
It is time for us to work together, and take the initiative,
Noon, naipakita natin ang pangangailangan sa isang pinuno, kay Cory, na siya ang karapat-dapat mamuno,
Ngayon, PANAHON NA, para maiparating kay Noynoy, na huwag na siyang magdalawang-isip, na siya ang magbabalik sa taong-bayan ng pag-asa na may pagbabagong maisasatupad para sa pag-unlad ng ating bayan.
Kung hindi ngayon, Kailan Pa?
KUMILOS NA TAYONG LAHAT! Ako mismo ang magdudulot ng pagbabago!
