Cory Aquino: 1933-2009
2 Aug
Welcome back!
Feel free to poke around the archives, check out my featured posts, or just send me an email. Don't forget to subscribe to my RSS Feed! It's doubleplusgood!
I don’t mean to add to the noise, but posting a retarded entry (I’ve got one written actually) just feels so improper. I’ll just pay my respects for one of the most awesome Filipinos to have ever walked the earth.

I want to write a rambling entry about one of my earliest memories from the first EDSA Revolt. I just don’t know how to begin. So let me just say this: the very fact that we have the freedom to post practically whatever we want in these here weblogs stem from this little thing she inspired called ‘People Power.’ And that’s awesome.
Rest in peace, Cory Aquino. You’ve done well. An entire nation is grateful.

from the original post…
“So let me just say this: the very fact that we have the freedom to post practically whatever we want in these here weblogs stem from this little thing she inspired called ‘People Power.’ And that’s awesome.”
the internet, and lax internet guidelines allow us to post whatever we want, not cory aquino…

the internet and lax internet guidelines, and not cory aquino. indeed.
ah, yes. so had she not spearheaded the return to democracy, the internet would still give us the opportunity to freely express our sentiments?
quite possibly you have not heard of the great firewall of china and similar restrictions on the internet performed by authoritarian states without a concept of free expression?

We’re thankful because we are given someone who fought for our freedom, because back then, not everyone wanted to take the challenge.
I think that guy is thankful for the internet at least he has something he can call a life right?
Talk about short sighted and narrow minded.

Jigs:
Please watch your use of ellipsis.
Anyway, you’re falling into the trap of treating the Internet and society as two separate objects and contexts. They’re not; our ability to freely express thoughts “out here” in society translates to our ability to freely express thoughts “in here” in society.
I’m not – and I probably will not – be the first or the last guy to ever make an ultra-pro-Cory comment that will attribute everything in post-1986 society to her: that will be odd, and that is disdainful towards history. Yet Cory, in many ways, inspired People Power, and that created the awesome observation Ade just posted here. Without the fight for free expression in the struggle for a free society, you probably won’t even have THE INTERNET.
Finally, the laxity of that guideline in the Internet can be summarized by this statement: do not throw the arrow which will be hurled back at you.

I was in grade 4 when People Power happened. I can remember the tanks and the soldiers and the prayers. Our school was in the middle of Edsa and at the center of all the chaos. I was too young to completely understand why we were giving flowers to the soldiers but I fully comprehend it now. Goodbye and Thank you Pres. Cory.
