So February 23, 2009 is a holiday? Another long weekend for non-call center employees. We've had a number of People Power movement. Which People Power movement are we celebrating? Personally, the most memorable is the first EDSA Revolution. I enjoyed it - A lot! No classes for almost a week. I really didn't care at all. I didn't understand why my parents were saddened by the demise of the Marcos regime. What I can remember, clearly, was the never ending video of Ninoy Aquino's assasination. It's a classic heroic act! A classic case of an unsolved mystery.

I just find it amusing that our country never learned. We even have patriotic songs that didn't stand the test of time. I hope I'm wrong.

Here's a video of Regine singing the famous EDSA Revolution song - Magkaisa with The Company. I also included an audio file of the original version recorded by Virna Lisa. Reminisce....
