History unfolding 35 floors beneath me

I decided to go to the Robinson's Summit Center today as I'm leading a remote meeting this afternoon. Just can't trust DSL sometimes.

Below me, throngs of people are gathered in a sea of green, red and yellow, their shirts and stickers boldly proclaiming.

"Baba na Gloria at Noli!" (GMA and Noli step down!)

"Ibagsak si GMA!" (Topple GMA!)

While their loudspeakers blare, "Bagong umaga ay parating..."

Where will this new morning come from? From the same group that was removed from power four years ago by a public uprising? From the people who argue and bicker in the halls of Congress while the public groans under the burden of inflation and unemployment?

Replacing one with the other is all the same for me. There is no such thing as principle and honor in the government anymore, it is all just a game that they play. And while the general public cheers the moves of their favorite government personalities, the players could not care less. They just want to play.

There are no more heroes in government.

Change will not come from our public institutions.

Change comes from me.

And you.

No more looking for heroes, the time has come to become one.
