NANGINSULTO NA, NANLOKO PA SI LENI

NANGINSULTO na, NANLOKO pa ng taumbayan si Leni Robredo sa kaniyang mensahe sa paggunit ng ika-35 taon ng kamatayani ni Ninoy Aquino.

In a story in http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/nation/664954/leni-ninoy-aquino-inspired-filipinos-to-find-their-own-courage/story/, Leni credited Ninoy for "paving the way" for Filipinos — by sacrificing his life — to rise against the "shackles of dictatorship."  And in her full message, Leni said Ninoy’s death would pave the way for the People Power Revolution three years later, with the Filipino nation rising up as one.

For those who were not born yet then, or are not informed enough, here’s THE TRUTH:

Even before Martial Law was declared in 1972, or some 12 LONG YEARS before Ninoy was killed in 1983, VARIOUS SECTORS like the youth were already holding protest rallies against then President Ferdinand Marcos. When Martial Law was declared, the rallies decreased in frequency but resistance to Marcos continued through underground newspapers like We Forum and Malaya. Some Marcos critics, whether here or abroad, also continued their assault on the Marcos Administration. In the process, some people died. But the point is, they carried out their acts ON THEIR OWN FREE WILL, AND NOT BECAUSE OF NINOY.  Nor because Ninoy ordered them to.

That’s why it’s ONE BIG, SHAMELESS LIE for Leni to claim that it was Ninoy who paved the way for Filipinos to rise against the perceived Marcos dictatorship.

And as I’ve written before in another blog, the People Power Revolution was NOT carried out BECAUSE OF NINOY’S DEATH or because of Cory. HARI O REYNA ng mga SINUNGALING ang magsasabi niyan. There were other reasons, like what others perceived as endless corruption. But DEFINITELY, NOT NINOY.

To the kids/youth out there, VERIFY everything I have written here with your parents or grandparents anytime. DO NOT BE FOOLED or misled by Leni. Show her you’re not the GULLIBLE IDIOTS she thinks you are. 30
