The Edsa I Know
Freedom from twenty years of dictatorship, twenty years of oppression, hardship, repression, injustice, corruption, greed, waste and near despair -- ended. Ended by a revolution of peace, prayers, Rosaries, radios, and above all, raw human courage. It is true: the Filipino is brave, the Filipino is honorable, the Filipino is great.
Corazon Aquino
Every Filipino in the world today stands a little taller and a little prouder. No longer the butt of jokes and the object of pity or derision, Filipinos can take their place in the council of nations because they are one of the few races who have done the impossible
