What happened to Us?

I remember when I was very young and growing up in the Philippines, People Power is all the rage!

As Bob Simon said in the live CBS news hour ,

We Americans like to think we taught the Filipinos democracy. Well, tonight they are teaching the world.


But what happened to us after that momentous event? The country even spiralling downwards and most of the new Generation of Pinoys don't even recognize the following song. full of love and hope for the future:



Twenty-three years later our beloved country has sunk even further, our politicians we elected managed to survived politically even without doing anything that's beneficial to thier constituents. We are as divided now as when the Spaniards first came to our shores. What happened to our Unity embodied in this song?



Do we really need another Revolution?
