Source YouTube: Balik-tanaw 1986 EDSA Revolts
At the time the former president Corazon Aquino started her presidency in 1986 and other 6 years of NoyNoy Aquino - lalong naghirap ang bansa at mga Filipino. Ang mga mayayamang negosyante ay lalong yumaman.
Isang gobyerno nguni't iniasa ang Ekonomiya ng Pilipinas sa balikat ng mga OFWs (Filipino Overseas Workers) sa panahon ni Cory through the billions of billions of dollars they remitted back home annually.
In 1986, when President Cory started her presidency, her appointees wrote a new constitution. In the constitution, they placed a rule that ensured oligarchs 60% ownership on any foreign investments in the Philippines. Ano pa ang kikitain ng gobyerno sa ganuong partehan? Di ba nakakatawa yon at nakakainis din.
What is Oligarch means? Oligarch is defined as a ruler in an Oligarchy - a very rich businessman with a great deal of political influence. An Oligarch can rule and command. The family of Aquino, Cojuangco, Lopez and other very rich businessmen, mga bilyonaryong obispo in the country are considered Oligarchs. The old Oligarchy that former president Marcos abolished have risen back into power while the nation was plunged further into poverty.
Hindi ba nakakahiya na ang katuwang para bumuhay sa ekonomiya ng Pilipinas sa panahon ni Pangulong Cory Aquino ay ang mga OFWs na nagpakahirap sa ibayong-dagat? Samantala ang mga mayayamang mga negosyante ay lalong nagpayaman!
Also during her term, the Philippine Education was neglected, history was distorted and ensuring young generation of voters will become ignorant. Kaya ang naging resulta - sa loob ng 30 years ang ating mga kabataan noon at dala pa nila ngayon ay namuhay sa kamangmangan at kasinungalingan. In 30 years after the 1986 EDSA revolution, the Philippines and its people lived in darkness dahil sa maling pamamalakad ni Cory na ngayon planong gawin santa.
What is the legacy then? 30 years after the EDSA Revolution, Filipinos can clearly see its legacy such as: Monopoly of the Oligarchs. Hegemony of the Media (hanggang ngayon buhay silang mga biased media networks tulad ng ABS-CBN). Mediocre life of the Middle class and Eternal suffering of the poor.
Mabuti na lang dumating ang panahon ng liwanag - si Mayor Duterte ng Davao ang nanalong pangulo in 2016 - naramdaman natin ang maraming pagbabago hanggang sa kasalukuyan.
