Just last wednesday there was a forum held in room 200 about the EDSA revolution, with Sen. Jovito Salonga as the guest speaker. Prof. Leonen and Prof. Te were also speakers, along with the Dean.

One of the questions asked during the open forum is a question that everybody should be asking right now. Paraphrased,

" Is there any similarity between the events leading up to the declaration of Martial Law and the subsequent EDSA People Power Revolution?"

As a follow up to the question, another asked, again paraphrased:

"Would these events be enough to push for another EDSA revolution?"

In the wake of Proclamation 1017, where President Arroyo, through Secretary Bunye, declared that she had placed the nation in a "State of Emergency" (after yet another reported coup attempt), with the arrest of UP Professor Randy David and his activist lawyer, with the veiled warnings issued about warrantless arrests, dispersals of rallies, the revocation of previously issued rally permits, the implementation of the "No Permit, No Rally" policy, and the cancellation of the events -low key , nondescript even, as they already were- that would celebrate the 20th anniversary of the EDSA Revolution, with our fellow students and members of the PVO at Camp Caringal in hopes that they may be of help those in need of legal assistance, i suggest this.

Take a break from gimmick planning, take a break from the studying, listen to the radio and watch television. Listen to and Watch the NEWS. Then, ask those two questions.

I know what my answer, my gut feeling is. What's yours gonna be?

Aren't ya scared yet?
