Are our masters today less corrupt and less tyrannical than the olden days? Are we united as a people? Despite the lesson of our past, we have remained to, erant and indifferent that it took us 2 decades to free ourselves from our lethargy in Marcos dictatorship, for us to finally move into action in 1986. Due to our ningas cogon, in a whiff of a wind, our national heroes like Rizal, Ninoy, and the People Power are easily forgotten. Our respective revolutions start from within us. There was a call for unity and change in us, reverberated in the entire archipelago, which has to wage consistently, over and over again. Jose Rizal’s revolution is meant to outlived him, to last through the generations.
