Handog Ng Pilipino Sa Mundo

Back


This is the definitive video that captured the mood of EDSA1 or the People Power Revolution of 1986. When this was shown on TV a few months after the revolution, people were quite touched.

However, it's stint on TV abruptly ended after award winning director Mike De Leon pulled it out because Manoling Morato of the MTRCB had decided to censor the part where the pictures of the dictator and his wife were being slapped by the people.

A lot of EDSA veterans saw the censoring as a sign that the new dispensation was 'watering down' its commitment to the ideals that people fought for and was already succumbing to the call of 'reconciliation' by the Marcos loyalists.

We may all have our disappointments regarding EDSA. Nevertheless, here is the video which to me captures the purity and the idealism of the time , at least before the politicians started to fail us. Notice that Mike De Leon situated the EDSA1 revolution to the overall struggle of our independence which began before the American occupation.

i like this song very much...but wala ring nangyari sa pinaglaban natin sa edsa. Mas mabuti parin panahon ni marcos. Siya lang nangungurakot. Pero ngayon mula sa Bgy.Tanod upto the Pres. Of the PHILIPPINES Nangungurakot. Noon ang minimum ng pamasahe .75c lang at isang kaban ng bigas 50 pesos lang pero ngaun 1000 plus na. Sana magbago na tayo mga PILIPino.

JESUS is the key for everything!GOD said if my people will humble themselves and pray seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, i will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and I will heal their land! O my countrymen! let us stop fighting, turn our eyes to GOD! God bless the Filipino People!

Im proud to be a filipino kahit na nasa ibang bansa ako't naksisikap para sa kinabukasan ng aking anak,simula ng mamulat ako wala na akong nakita kundi puro sinisisi ang gobyerno natin,may nagsasabi palitan, pabagsakin ang gobyerno, ba't di kaya natin gawin muna ang pagbabago sa ating sarili?Una sa lahat magkaroon tayo ng takot sa Diyos at mahalin ang kapwa, sa tingin ko dun natin makakamit ang tunay na pagbabago;-D
