“It is right that Congress seems minded to legislate a convention for the purpose, rather than a constituent assembly among themselves.”
I do not have permission to name the regulars of the Thursday Group, some of them having made highly successful careers in politics, business and other endeavors. “We always describe history from the point of view of leaders, of major players. Why not about ordinary Filipinos who may have participated in these events, even as mere spectators, but whose lives may have changed, for better or worse, after these epochal events?” mused Sen. Greg, the “Gringo” hero of EDSA.
The announcement came a tad too late, and the DOLE was supposed to announce the holiday for the private sector even when their Thursday office hours had ceased. Still, while the Aquino family declared the spirit of EDSA is alive, some of those who trooped to the shrine last Saturday morning mouthed the same demands, that “rhetoric won’t matter if there is no act of repentance for the sins of the Marcos regime,” and decried “efforts to revise our history.”Still and all, the victors, in this case the politically-resurrected Marcos family, must pursue the call for unity and reconciliation.
