The Jun Lozada Fever and Remembering EDSA 1

Today, the Philippines commemorated the EDSA 1 Revolution. It’s been 22 years now. If you are in your 30’s, certainly you have some recollections of EDSA 1. The noise barrage; People on the streets; nuns, priests, and military men. The yellow color signs; the “L” hand sign that signified the word “Laban” (fight.)
So, where were you those three days? If you were here today in Manila, you will see the same things, almost the same things. And you would experience first-hand the Jun Lozada fever. The every hour flash news is now worth the time watching as each day’s “what will happen next?” unfold. But still the news on TV is not enough to satisfy us, so we go to the internet to search for more information. There, we discover a lot of people really talking about it and even making fun of it in some sites.
The uploaded videos about Jun Lozada and the ZTE thing in the youtube.com are not all comic after all. There are some serious ones. I took notice of this one video with an original song. The message of the song is very timely. I hope you will be inspired also by it.
