Let's face it. Our country's decades of democracy is faced in a grave turmoil today, hence, menacing our own freedom. Yes. The freedom that our countrymen have bravely fought for is now in the verge of jeopardy.
On the night of June 2, 2009, a hundred and seventy Members of the House have passed a resolution with the aim of changing the country's Constitution. Today, it is famous for its many names. HR 1109. Constituent Assembly. Charter Change. All of these states one sole intention: to overlay the path for changes to the Philippine Constitution. Apparently, they have made an intentional attempt to endangering the constitution- the constitution that they have sworn to protect when they were appointed to their position. Evidently, this is an act of betrayal and infidelity to the charter, the vast majority of the mass, and most importantly, to the state itself.
Joining the No to ConAss mass rally last June 10, I instantly understood the importance of being socially involved in the state's battle against the nation's injustices. They were right. We have to make a move. We have to fight. And if fighting means having to go out to the streets and shout out our anger and rage for us to be heard, then that is what exactly we must do, and will do.
Our right to democracy has clearly been stepped on to. Let us fight for our freedom and our democracy while we still have it in the grip of our hands. If we don't act, then we let that very privilege slip right from our very own palms.
No one else will if we do not take the initiative of taking the lead.
