Stolen...
Been a while since my last post… so many times I wanted to post but something comes up.
Last Thursday I wanted to post on the EDSA revolution since it was on the 23rd of February 20 years ago that I joined that historic People Power…but somebody stole the telephone wires in our neighborhood that day so that I did not have internet connection and wasn’t able to blog…
Then I attended a 50th wedding anniversary last Saturday and it was really so nice and touching that I wanted to write on it too but still no internet connection…
Finally they installed new telephone wires on the area that was stolen. They made sure that it will be difficult to be stolen again (it is the third time somebody stole it)… So now I’ve got internet access again BUT the desire to write on those thoughts are gone…
Instead I reflected on the incident and thought that oftentimes something beautiful could be lost by the greed of some people.
So many people in our neighborhood were dismayed because one person decided to steal the wires… those wires are pretty expensive but he probably just sold it as scrap… the same goes for our country, the fruits of our peaceful revolt in 1986, something that every Filipino were proud of at one point IS GONE because some people are just too greedy for power and money. BUT everything is not lost anyway… look at me, I have my telephone connection back and I could just move on and write on some other thoughts... the same is true with the Philippines... if Filipinos are vigilant and have that strong desire for GOOD and persist on doing good, THEN we can have our glory back… it will not be the same thing but hopefully something better!
