Message to Cory Aquino and Filipinos - enhanced
It's ironic that you'd ask "who are we to criticise those who cotinue to fight" when those who criticise are exercising that freedom of speech you so highly prize as the outcome of those "heroes" you worship. Tough luck, dude. Your time is up. Over more than 5 "comments" you merely express no more than a quaint sentimentality over "fights" and "heroes" that are just tired legacies of what are really sad failures to build a just society. Have a nice life. (3 days ago)

Mano po. The very Pinoys you think are appreciative of the "sacrifices" of Cory are the same people who look the other way while the murderers of her husband continue to lead comfy lives in Philippine high society. No less than Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. himself continues a successful political career -- elected by Filipinos enjoying this "freedom". In Cory's most recent major public appearance she shared a stage with former President Erap - convicted plunderer and indulgent womaniser. Classy. (4 days ago)

And "tangible actuality" that isn't underpinned by IDEAS fail even more miserably. The Philippines is a testament to that fact. All action and no thinking. Facing danger you say? That's precisely my point about our quaint beholdenness to heroes. What has all this addiction to "facing danger" gotten us? Nothing. (5 days ago)

On the contrary, this freedom's always been there. The tragedy is in people like you who think it has to be handed over to them by "heroes". You don't know what you have if it was sitting right under your nose. I'm even sorrier for people who feel obligated to kiss the hand that they THINK feeds them for the rest of their life. That's the old 'utang na loob' that imprisons the Pinoy mind and compels us to remain beholden to tired no-results traditions and worse tired old no-results "heroes". (5 days ago)

Old boy, NOBODY "allows" anyone to have "true meaning" of "freedom". Meaning and freedom come from within one's self no matter what type or how "oppressive" or "free" a society is. Everyone goes through their own version of persecution. Just because yours was harsh (in your opinion) does not necessarily make what others went through less harsh. (1 week ago)

Thank you very much! Well thought out comments/post! The Philippines as whole should stop putting so called heroes up on pedestals.

Kudos to your new animated video, i do hope it finds its way to tv for a broader mileage

I love the new video. Ninoy as a central theme really emphasizes the digression in Philippine Society. Thank you.
