Heads are held high,
eyes alert to all evil,
ears perked to all aberrance.
Sleepless for days,
not minding sun's vehemence,
not minding thirst, hunger,
but ever alert to dissonance,
to preclude, conclude
immoral proclivity, depravity.
Not a single bullet spent.
No blood spilt. No lives fallen.
They reclaimed country's integrity,
the people's own supremacy.
Never a victory for so many.
Heroes all are!
There will be a big celebration for EDSA revolution day...alas, the end result is that the elite families still have a monopoly on the government, and corruption is still rampant...however, the heroism of the ordinary Philippino in standing up to Marcos in a non violent manner is something to be proud of...LINK2

For some reason, Gloria is visiting the landslide survivors instead of atteding the celebrations...
The government has prepared a four-day celebration for the EDSA 1 rites, including a mass at the EDSA Shrine on Ortigas Ave., Quezon City and the traditional "Salubungan" ceremony.
The President however has limited participation in the EDSA celebration, which ends on Feb. 25, and will mostly travel to the provinces to bring the message of unity and hope to the masses.
