"Am I part of History?"
This is a time wherein our nation is recovering from a hero's death. Have you noticed that many of the youth today just consider this event as to their advantage of "being part of history", yes, i've thought of it for quite a few times but I realized then that I am part of history in my own way.
The late president Cory Aquino is an example perhaps of how can we be part of the bigger picture of history, she had been an ordinary citizen before the people gave her the lead for our country. And even after her term, she returned back to as a simple mother to her family. Taking part in history is a wrong note, for every living human being is part of the process of shaping the history. Only some are given the opportunity to be part of the bigger picture, but majority are witnesses to such events in our country's timeline.
"Our past directs our present to what will be then our future"
This blog wouldn't be published if not for Cory Aquino and the People Power Revolution - true perhaps, for the freedom of expression and the democracy that we are experiencing are the fruits of what they had sacrificed for the nation. I guess history was tired enough of seeing the Aquinos to save the country in such time, by which I thank them, but aren't there any other filipinos aside from the Aquino family? There are few who managed to make the scene, but as what i have said its just a bigger picture of the history.
We have to partake not just in history but in nation-building. This 2010 Elections is a big opportunity for us to make a change, this is the time to participate and share in the fruits of People Power and late Pres. Cory's "Laban" back in 1980's. We have to learn from the past and be able to cherish what we have right now. This is a big challenge that "Tita Cory" left our generation. Thank you Tita Cory.
What I've learned and realized upon the death of the mother of the Philippine Democracy is that I can help in the process of nation-building in my own simple way. Humility in every sacrifices and do every deed with the guidance of God.
"At this point, all i can do is to wear a simple yellow ribbon and live in the ideals of the late President Cory Aquino."
