Did you receive and forward jokes and the “Go 2 Edsa” message to all the people in your phonebook? Did you come to Edsa Shrine (or the public plazas nationwide) with your family, friends, schoolmates and officemates? Did you take photos? Did you make your own placards? Did you join the exciting march to Mendiola that signaled the victory for the uprising? Do you remember what you felt, and the big dreams and aspirations we all had for our country?

whoa tsong, ang sipag mo gumawa ng videos, and natouch ako, I remembered EDSA Dos. I hate being nostalgic pero it brings back the ambiance of EDSA seven years ago.
I heard they made this the theme song of the event. “Bayani” - pertaining to the thousands of people who fought for what’s right that day. Tapos ngayon pardon lang pala ang aabutin ng pagkabayani nila. Pffft.
Yep, they made it the theme song and bagay naman (I think). Isa pang song na hit noon ay yung “Heal Our Land”, at syempre mga revivals nung EDSA 1 songs. About Eraps Pardon, well kaya nga, tapos I saw sa broadsheet last week yata “ERAP: I’ll Choose Myself”, as oppositions presidential candidate in 2010???? WTF! Not again. Asa naman ‘to si Erap masyado! Amf!
*continued from the twit*
… although it was a bit unnerving that I heard the word “bayani” in the song while looking at Erap’s pic. HAHA! :p
Haha! If you notice, Erap’s pics actually avoids the “bayani” terms in the video. Nagiging comedy kasi. Hehe. Damn maybe I shouldnt have put him in the chorus at all.
Kasi nasa ere pa yung word na “bayani” kaya tuloy nasagap ni Erap sa paningin ko. Haha!
Even though I was not really interested in politics when I was still a high school freshie, seeing these pics like I was there on that event just made me a bit nostalgic. Parang kailan lang when we were still young and then these people were old (and decently smart) enough to exercise fully their democratic rights.
(*sigh)

ako la pa me sa manila nung edsa 2.. hehehe
May “Vloglet” ka na rin pala. Nice!
Nagiging nostalgic na rin para sa akin ang EDSA2, kahit wala naman ako sa Manila. From the songs, down to the cries of the Filipinos. I may say that it is one proud moment for us.
My god.. !! Brings back the days.. di ba pepz? hehe.. rocks are flying above our heads when the supreme court was deciding on the case of erap? (was it? was it not? please correct me) We cant even go home because erap’s supporters are outside the school. Our principal then was so worried that we have to use other exit which was frequently used by the garbage truck before the rally began.. heheh.. Hey! If memory serves me right, it was our monthly exams, right? Hehe.. I was second year then…
