Ito ay regalo sa akin ng aking kabiyak nitong nakaraang anibersaryo namin. Hindi ako karaniwang babae na mahilig sa bag, at nanghihinayang ako sa mga mamahaling bag. Kaya laking sorpresa na ito ang ibinigay niya. Natutuwa naman ako. Ito ang aking una at sana ay hindi rin naman kaisa-isang bag ( mukhang tama nga ang kasabihang pag nagkaroon ka na nito ay hahangarin mong magkaroon ng isa pa kahit alam mong matagal-tagal pa bago mo ito makakamtan)
At iyan ang aking lahok para sa Litratong Pinoy.
This year is different.
In more than two decades, we have commemorated The Freedom Day (otherwise called as EDSA 1) as a non-working holiday. We never ever changed the date of the celebration. We rejoiced and remembered the day we were freed from dictatorship on the very day that the then President left Manila.
And it was the very reason why I we chose that day to present our vows before God and mankind, and to any and all kind of governments. Because every year that we celebrate our anniversary, we are free to be together without filling out leave forms.
But now, we are again in bondage. We have been shackled by this global financial crisis, which led to a heart-breaking decision for our industry to survive. Companies need their people working. People need to work to keep on earning. And work should be valued to keep the economy surviving. And no, we are not going to ink those forms, but be a good ant to save for rainy days.
