AN EDSA REVOLUTION FLASH BACK

My long due post Edsa entry was at last done and is ready to share here in in this page. Thanks to all those people out there who have shared their emotions and other opinions for the celebration last Friday, February 25,2011. First of all, the day was not mark a special holiday which the former administration did, to give way for the said historic event in our country. No comment with that:-). I was not present in the time Edsa revolution in 1986 was formed, I was a martial law baby, what was happening during the Martial law, and Edsa days has no impact to me during that time. But to this day, those stories of my family, my Lolo , news and the history books had given me somehow information and knowledge of those event in the country of my own. 

Younger people were asked on their views about the Edsa revolution, Some says " Edsa was the eye opener for the Filipino people to fight for their  freedom". to be freed from the dictatorship of  President who serve the country for two decades is overwhelming. That justice has bid ways to those oppressed during the dictatorship, The killing of Ninoy Aquino has ignited the flame to end the dictatorship administration. What was beyond all this story has not yet been told, I guess, as there is always two sides of the story , three and four sides to tell. and to which of that is told correctly, we really don't know. Only God knows.  We can't judge and condemned the people  who was accused  behind the crime because we are not present at the time it happened, we only rely on stories and news.

What is the true meaning of Edsa  revolution anyway? I believe during this time the Filipino shows oneness  of call for change in leadership. And we all know the people power , right? If majority say No, stop and act, all the rest will be history. But how about you? do you really know the meaning of Edsa revolution? or your also one of the mediocre who go out and shout out  for the second time around when the people power had formulated to make the administration you voted to step down because you were not satisfied, so you desire change again without evaluating yourself if you have been a good citizen to your country, Are you one of the  Filipino who where there just to be called present at the time the revolution happened? but if asked, you can't state your own reason of supporting it and why you sacrifice your time to be part of the people power. We always shout for change of governance, but if I may ask, when can  we realize that we are part of this changes failures, dissatisfaction? we always tend to look up on our leaders to blame, but we do not do our part as a community. It's easy for us to find fault on our government when in fact we can't admit ourselves that we are also to blame . Anyway, so much for this, May God bless us all and our country.

CORRUPT AUTHORITIES

More government officials in the country is getting bold and transparent to the public in terms of abusing their authorities. They are becoming fearless and shameless with their crooked practices. I am working  under Engineering department and for the past three months I always heard the engineers here in our department complaining of the greediness of those authorities in the nearest local Municipal in town. Since our groups project right now is to put up a small Bazaar market located in their vicinity, our  engineer here  that takes care all the permits for the building construction looks over stress with the way it is moving everytime he goes out to secured all permits needed..

According to our Engineer, that's the way it evolved in the government agency. If you are righteous then you'll be sorry to the people in the government position. If you don't give them what they want despite the fact that your requirements are complete and you comply with the building codes, Still that will not guarantee you a past and hassle free release of your permits. In any way  they will find faults in the plans that you submitted to them. Imagine our group started securing all the permits last June 2009 and in God's mercy as of now the building permit that we are waiting to start the building construction is still in queu. The municipal engineer that will signed the permit is requesting for a gifts from our company. Goodness! Because our management don't bribe so they are delaying our permits. And this afternoon the City Engineer could no longer hold his pitch and bargain again his offer. Oh no! The crocodile is asking a front stall in the Market  for a one year moratorium. I can't believe it!  damn!
