oh let's post the edsa stories of our parents here!

I think it was either my mom or my lola - my lola most probably, working when the revolution started

"alis na tayo, nagkakagulo na!" and she replied "but we have deadlines!" or something

dedicated!

ooohhh, my dad was there when the helicopters were given the order to fire! and later, when they talked to the pilots,

they said that all they could see was a haze, and my dad remembers it to be a clear day!

and my mum's coworker was in Camp Crame, and he said that some of the officers were literally peeing in their pants!

really gives you a feeling on how desperate things wer

Not a story of my folks, though. My ninong was one of the journalists who climbed the gates of Malacanang when they heard McCoy left.

After over two decades in the industry, he said that it was one of the best times to be a journalist.

my parents' friend was one of those who held up the tanks coming from marikina, when she was first called out to help, she ran out in her

negligee! she turned back after about a block and changed into proper clothes

that would have turned the soldiers away hahahaha

or at least stopped them in their tracks

well, mind you, these guys were the ones who got tear-gassed!

I don't think you want to wear a negligee when you get tear-gassed

true, amazing how all these ordinary people went to the streets...unfathomable today

to be fair to us, my mum and dad, when they first heard enrile's and ramos' announcement, they didn't believe them and went to the movies!

you really can't judge this generation, we have never had a crisis on par with People Power

true, we never went through the dictatorship - never felt oppression and fear at those levels. At least we know what's possible...

that not too long ago, it did happen and it can happen again

one prays that we don't need the same preconditions.

I have faith in our people, that we will never allow such preconditions.

my dad went and rallied with several other activists.. they got arrested but were let go since they were rallying with a general's kid.

I should stick close to Danton and Janelle then
