In the coming week, the commemoration of the EDSA/People Power Revolution (# 1, Feb. 22-25, '86; arguably the ONLY genuine one )will be upon us again. For sure there will be festivities, much more so because the Yellow Army, headed by the PNoy, are back in power.
Which power, ultimately residing in the people (Salus populi est suprema lex: The welfare of the people is the supreme law, ladeda, ladeda), was grabbed from us by the "Dear" Dictator during his dictatorial regime. We got our freedom, or at least a semblance of it, back, thanks to The People Power Revolution/EDSA One. We have had subsequent EDSAs, for which most of us do not particularly care for.
I have my own thoughts and memories about it, see link below, but I'm also taking cue what one of my go-to Youtubers, Chloe' thinks about freedom in general.
Bonus: his/her/whatever's version of the Preamble (of the US Constitution, that is.)
