Likely, you were swayed to believe by the yellow army propagandist who hailed cory to be the mother of democracy. I was once a believer then even put my life at stake during the dark days of martial law. i was an organizer of the 1978 noise barrage when Ninoy lead the Laban ticket against the powerful KBL. We fought the ads exposing ourselves to the dangers at hand during that time in the belief of Ninoy will lead us to democracy. 1983, when Ninoy was assassinated, we started again the movement back to the streets upon Marcos was booted out. It was all because we fought for democracy to be restored.
Low & behold 27 years after, look at where we are. Hailing cory to be the mother of democracy when she was cooking in Boston when more pinoys & pinays are already fighting it out here. Who the heck termed her this, it's all the yellow media. The media played the idea that she had powers rigth after people power cause it was still the marcos constitution in effect, well i tell them, she will be stupid to use it as the people just hated it, yet the media praised her for not using it, that was the yellow media at play again.
My point is to date, majority has praised the Aquinos and rewarded them with being in power irregardless for whether they are fit or dumb. If there are an Aquino to have lead this country, maybe it was only Ninoy. Cory came to be cause she was the only uniting power then and just to get rid of Marcos. The situation then is different form today. Today, the problem is not about dictatorship or freedom. The problem today is poverty, employment, peace & order and corruption. Abnoy is not the man for this. he cna only brag his father & mother, he was zero in congress & senate which he served for a total of 12 yrs. The time for paying gratitude is over. We have to thinking & vote wisely who is right & smart for the job.
Again, if cory did not die, he could have even lost the re-election last May. I call him an opportunist as he was not even a contender in 2009 for the presidency. When the mother died, yellow army repeat the funeral march of 1983. Wella, it worked as people (mostly usi) where on the streets. The usi turned into sympathy voters as the yellow army took advantage of the situation to shove Mar on the side to give way for Abnoy.
In all honesty, if there is one thing Abnoy has achieved , that is wang-wang. The rest that he claimed to be, i am willing to debate on him to prove me wrong. Worst, his the only president who had made this country to be hated by it's neighbors.
If you ask me who would have been a better choice as president in 2010, it will be between Gordon or Gibo.
Peace bro, nothing personal just pointing out.
