The Avenue of the heroes.
The Filipinos had demonstrated the most powerful way to overthrow a corrupt government of the Philippines.
The People Power revolution of 1986 in Edsa was the awakening of the voice of the people that was been dormant for almost 25 years.
I marched on that day of eruption and shouted freedom and democracy that shattered the gates of Malacanang and created a dominoe effect all over the world.
The Koreans followed us like a cat that forgot to bring a copier.
The Tiananmen student uprising was a success with bloody mary on the side.
The Iron curtain was washed but never to be hang again.
The Filipinos had achieved the extraordinary event of a life time but that achievement can be exploited and can be use has a weapon of mass destruction.
The People Power revolution was the lava that came from Malacanang.
Perhaps Edsa Dos will be the last of the lava flow.

i was 16 years old at that time... i couldn't understand why my mother cried so hard when ferdinand marcos was ousted... now, i know why... until now, not only my mom is crying, million of filipinos are... did this scenario change anything? yes! some foreigners are afraid to invest in our country because of the exaggerated news about this and that... tourism in the philippines is poor and neglected... millions of professionals are working abroad... sometimes who's really to blame? it's kinda frustrating but philippines is a beautiful country, full of lovely and friendly people abused by greedy politicians... it won't stop... it's a neverending cycle... i bet there'll be more people's power coming up... GOD bless us...
