"This is the day the Lord has made,
Let us rejoice and be glad!"
These past several months have been most crucial for our nation and its people.
The self-serving enemies of democratic processes and institutions have gone all out in their effort to confuse, bribe, threaten and coerce the people into accepting their scheme for total control. In the guise of correcting a deficient system, these veteran wolves-in-sheep-clothing have outdone even themselves in their diabolic machinations:
First, there was Sigaw ng Bayan with its millions of fake and dubious signatures which no less than the highest court of the land declared null and without merit, having been gathered deceptively and fraudulently. Then the notorious Trapos of Congress self-appointed themselves into a Constitutive Assembly, working overtime to expedite the Con-Ass bill even without the required concurrence of Senate.
Meanwhile, the real framers and financiers who hatched the Cha-cha scheme to cover the illegitimacy of the Presidency, worked double time behind-the-scene in Malacañang, even as they publicly feigned ignorance of, and even disinterest in, what was going on in the Lower House. With the people’s money, they got the votes and almost pulled it off! Oh GMA! Oh, what limitless capacity for shamelessness!
But they had underestimated the people. In arrogant haste, they forgot that "one can fool some of the people some of the time, but one cannot fool all the people all the time". This indeed is a major victory for the Filipino People. With this united stance, the Sovereign Will of this sovereign People has prevailed: "We will not allow anyone or any group to deprive us full participation in the process of nation-building. And we will fight anything and anyone who will attempt to sideline us."
The struggle does not end with this victory. Like the biblical evil spirit that was once cast out but came back with seven others, even more evil than itself, the enemies are not about to retreat forever in defeat. They will be back, again and again, perhaps more in number, but definitely armed with more shameful and more violent schemes, in order to foist their diabolic will on the whole nation. We must be prepared for them. We must forever be vigilant.
Kaalagad commends and cheers a resilient and resolute people! Mabuhay ang mga magigiting na Pilipino! Patuloy na maging mapagbantay!
