Kailangang baguhin ang Pilipino more than the government, in the sense na hindi na dapat magpabola ang mga mamamayan sa mga pulitiko. We have such a short memory after 1986, kaya hindi tayo tinatantanan ng mga problema. If we were to use People Power against the Arroyo administration today, that would be the second time (after Erap) that we have proven to ourselves and the world that we never learned from our mistakes.
If we want change, we should start with ourselves.
