1986 was year of revolutions. It was a year when our people kicked out the dictatorship that stifled our freedom. It was the year when the first lady President of our country stepped into power. And it was the year when the voice of the people was heard throughout the land. And prayers are the mightiest weapon.
With the current situation of our country now? Do you think its still worth it the memories of the People Power to give us freedom? I think that effort to set us free is useless now because there has been lot of unlikely situations happening in our country. How do you feel about it?

Oh I would definitely loved to reminisce those days when I saw the Filipino People struggled to gain their freedom from a dictator that stayed in power for a several decades. It is the time that we were able to topple obstacles from being suppressed and gained back our freedom.
What happening right now has nothing to do with the past. It is us who are making what we are experiencing now. EDSA revolt was a start of change and we failed to fully implement it because of us failing to choose the right leaders to seat in the administration. Let us just say that even during those times in the Bible when Moses lead his people to freedom, they did not reach total freedom because they still was not ready to accept the truth about their race. They travelled to many nations and even Moses was not allowed to go into the promised land. I guess we as a nation is undergoing those challenges. We tried to overcome an obstacle and we are now struggling for the freedom that we gained in the process. There is always opposition to the freedom we gained from the past but still if we continue what EDSA has left with us hope prevails.
