Dear friends,
This Barack statement is so true to our present political state;
"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent," said the president, "know that you are on the wrong side of history...
I guess the present sitting executives in the national and local district of this country may reflect if they are on the right side of history. It means that before we start marching to the center of power, we must first understand our bitter truths and by understanding it, without being hateful about it, before the march toward the right path of history can start.
It is said that history is written by the victors and winners. But Obama stressed that the old political ways no longer apply. This is maybe the same with the first indigenous Bolivian President Evo Morales and the center-left Australian Primie Minister Kevin Rudd. The History may be written by winners but not based of lies and deceit but by principle and dynamic support of the people.
The next RP Presidential aspirants come 2010 should also think about this. They should look back where our forefathers begun and how it was corrupted in the process. In this, 2010 aspirants will have the opportunity to rally the RP. Some will say morality is the force others will say order and discipline. But hopefully, more than words, may they lead the people by their example.
Perhaps, it is not about determining current challenges by old names of politicians and the pawns of power groups but by the greater old truths that inspire people to follow and strive with honesty and dignity.
I think this is the politics of the 21st Century eclipse by so much violence and corruption. May the masa Indios bravos who were hated in EDSA 3 shine again with the faith and hope of other EDSA's lead not by old names and their pawns but real leaders from below.
