Much ado about EDSA
The dwindling number of people celebrating EDSA People Power anniversary that ousted the Marcos dictatorship in February 1986 is another manifestation of Filipinos' short memory.
The main manifestation is of course seen in allowing the people behind the same government which EDSA forces toppled in 1986 to come back in power. Even the Marcoses. And to further show how easily Filipinos forget, this year's EDSA celebration may well turn out as the least attended in the last 17 years.
And when militant groups are prohibited to go to EDSA for the celebration, one doubts whether the present government truly understands what EDSA stands for.
