Just shared my experience in one of the blogs how we were met at the airport when our flight arrived in Honolulu. I think it is a good opportunity for me to share it again.
We arrived on board a PAL FLIGHT when the airport operations resumed a few days after the Marcos family were skirted out of the country.
As the plane's exits were opened we were met by embraces and words of congratulations from the airport officials. People were shaking our hands from the gate all the way to Immigrations.
While lining up for our clearance, other nationalities together with the airport officials were clapping their hands and embracing some of us. It seemed like forever. It felt good that nations all over the world recognized our efforts.
The deafening applause continued all the way to the baggage claim. People were telling us how great we are as a race and as a nation. A BLOODLESS REVOLUTION from what the world had perceived as a nation of the weak, The breed of PINOY TANGA!
We were surprised when we got out of the airport and the media was there to interview all of us together with a multitude of Pinoys who continued the applause and chants of MABUHAY KAYO MGA FILIPINO! That was too much for us to take and my lady friends broke down in tears. "So this is how it feels to be a hero!" as one of them would comment! "We only fought oppression nothing else!"
I will never forget that day. The only thing left for me to say to the reporter was " Do not underestimate the Power of the Filipinos as a nation!"
Maybe I was wrong? Where are we now? Are we back to our old ways and remain MGA PINOY TANGA???

That's a pretty hard question don't you think?
Which one peenkfrik the title or the ending???? lmao.
Questions are meant to elicit reaction. The questions at the end are harsh because you do not see the society changing at all.
We now have calls for change, frenzy of activities to look for new heroes and slogans and chants bla bla.
Kaya NAtin, Reform, Change, pAGBABAGO, BETTER PHILIPINES LADIDADIDA DO DUUM. But in one of the biggest get together I asked the volunteers "ARE YOU REGISTERED VOTERS?" You wouldn't believe it? More than half were not for a variety of reasons and excuses and palusots as always.
ARENT WE A COUNTRY of FOOLS??? Let us listen to those who are not!
