THE FOURTEEN-YEAR build-up that led to the people's victory at EDSA was a grand "Balik-Bayanihan" effort against all odds, against all demonstrated threats from the tyranical machine.
. It was the victory of conscious oneness of the majority, a victory of active stakeholdership versus safe and idle spectatorship. Conscious oneness and active stakeholdership are both imperative traits for each real kabayani in Bayanihan.
. 'Twas not a mere four-day affair; 'twasn't even a mere three-year sudden gush of pagpapakatao at pakikipagkapwa-tao after the murder of one Senator Aquino.
. Considering no less than four military forces involved in a severely delicate stalemate configuration (AFP-rebel; AFP-loyalist; NPA; and US military), it wasn't even a perfectly-peaceful affair.
. "Balik-Bayanihan" has to be deeply ingrained in the psyche and kalooban of the majority of citizens and communities, if we are to have real, lasting change for the empowerment and betterment of our nation. We cannot afford to remain a fence-sitting milyun-milyúng mirón, ever complaining about social wrongs and ever offering all sorts of excuses for personal non-action.
