Commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution

Informal Theme #8
Blog #8




            The Philippines was praised worldwide in 1986, when the so-called bloodless revolution erupted, called EDSA People Power’s Revolution. February 25, 1986 marked a significant national event that has been engraved in the hearts and minds of every Filipino. This part of Philippine history gives us a strong sense of pride especially that other nations had attempted to emulate what we have shown the world of the true power of democracy. The true empowerment of democracy was exhibited in EDSA by its successful efforts to oust a tyrant by a demonstration without tolerance for violence and bloodshed. Prayers and rosaries strengthened by faith were the only weapons that the Filipinos used to recover their freedom from President Ferdinand Marcos's iron hands.

The Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) stretches 54 kilometers, where the peaceful demonstration was held on that fateful day. It was a day that gathered all Filipinos in unity with courage and faith to prevail democracy in the country. It was the power of the people, who assembled in EDSA that restored the democratic Philippines, ending the oppressive Marcos regime. Hence, it came to be known as the EDSA People Power’s Revolution. The revolution was a result of the long oppressed freedom and the life threatening abuses executed by the Marcos government to cite several events like human rights violation since the tyrannical Martial Law Proclamation in 1972.
  
          The celebration will be spearheaded by the EDSA People Power Commission (EPPC). I will actively participate for this commemoration. If possible, I will attend the celebration in Manila, together with my family. Everyone should partake in this prominent event. Pilipino ako, ako ang lakas ng pagbabago.

“1 Corinthians 13”: A Christian Valentine Poem

Informal Theme #7
Blog #7




Valentine's Day is a day of love,
For showing that we care,
And if we read the Bible,
God describes love there:


If we speak like celestial angels
From heaven up above,
All our words mean nothing
If we don’t have Christian love.

Love is patient, love is kind;
It doesn’t brag or boast;
Love conquers pride and envy;
It is never self-engrossed.

Love is not rude or angry;
Forgiveness counters wrong;
Love stays away from evil;
It sings a truthful song.

Love is full of trust and hope;
It always perseveres;
Love never fails; It’s faithful;
To the Bible it adheres.

And if you give this kind of love
To your special Valentine,
You’ll be loving right in harmony
With God’s own sweet design.

Dear Ma’am Maye,

            I know it’s weird to receive a letter from one of your students but I think it is better to write this in paper than to tell you personally. Allow me to describe you from my own point of view. As an individual, I think you have the most pleasing personality. I have never met someone as responsible as you. I admire you for your diligence and overwhelming performance in any event.

            As one of the teachers of our Alma Mater, you must know that you’ve been respected here as an educator. But for me, you not only serve as our instructor but also as a friend. According to dictionary.com, a friend is defined as “a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.” Indeed, I feel that way towards you. How lucky I am to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to.

            If ever we were somehow in the same generation, I wouldn't think twice to approach you and ask you to be my friend. But even so, when it comes to friendship, age doesn't matter so I wouldn’t be reluctant to say that I am considering you as an acquaintance. “A circle is round. It has no end. That’s how long I want to be your friend.”


                                                                                                   Sincerely yours,
                                                                                                   Iris
