"Isn't it ironic...don't you think?"

20 years ago today, the Philippines was celebrating because we managed to topple a dictatorship...democracy was restored. But now, 20 years after that fateful day, all that the Filipinos fought for on that date has all gone to waste. Sayang! If only the people in the army were just brave enough to stand behind the people, if only the police were lenient enough, if only the people cared enough then I guess this wouldn't have happened. Gloria Arroyo just declared the Philippines in a State of Emergency. The fact that all rallies are being stopped, the media can't cover events that go against the government...i feel that it's martial law all over again. Just tonight my officemate received a text that anyone caught in the streets after 12 midnight will be considered anti-government and may be arrested. Right now I'm really scared...i'm scared for the country, for the people...specially the people i care about. I don't know if this set-up will be temporary. With the kind of people in Malacanang right now, anything is possible...including another 20-year martial rule. And I hope this doesn't happen again...for our sakes.

Last year, when those Garci tapes came out, I was one in saying GMA should step down. But I was asked by some friends, if she steps down, who would takeover? I say anyone but her. Anyone who said that she'll do because no one is better than her, there is no one we could trust anymore...knowing what you know now, would you still say that no one is better than her?

Serious ba? Mukha 'no? Serious kasi deep inside, galit na galit ako sa mga nangyayari. Di bale kung ano na nangyayari sa buhay ko...mas galit ako sa nangyayari sa ngayon sa country natin. I have a daughter who's growing and ayokong maranasan niya yung mga martial law na yan. I know it's not martial law yet pero...sa ngayon, who's to say na it won't happen?
