As we again mark EDSA ‘86, please note that the Aquinos, Tanny Tañada, Pepe Diokno, Soc Rodrigo, Jovy Salonga, Joker Arroyo, Nene Pimentel, Tito Guingona, et al. and I were at EDSA from September 23, 1972, until those on the wrong side of EDSA crossed over, and formed part of the millions comprising People Power. This week, I saw pictures of perennial undiscourageable bangon-ng-bangon Cha-cha leader Raul Lambino leading a group executing the Nazi salute, including Quezon City Vice Mayor Belmonte—Susmariano, et tu, Joy? Was I relieved that no picture showing President Duterte and Poland’s Lech Walesa, visiting, doing the Nazi salute together, was insensitively inflicted on the world. Signs of decay in valuesI don’t know how to take SAP (Special Assistant to the President) Bong Go’s appearance in the allegedly independent Senate where all I could hear was let-me-call-you-sweetheart.
