such politics!

it's not fair and right that the president will not consider Feb. 25 as a not-special-holiday. come on, why only this year?

for everyone's information, in February 25, 1986, a peaceful people power revolution unseated the then dictator president Marcos. the filipinos inaugurated Corazon Aquino, the wife of Ninoy Aquino who was shot as he was getting off an airplane in NAIA. she was the first filipino female president and since her time, every president considered the 25th of february a special holiday for the filipinos... well, until now.

president arroyo is the 2nd phil female president and was also inaugurated in a people power revolution. aquino and arroyo used to be at the same position/party/side. but then aquino grew tired of the president's administration and chose the opposition. in result, arroyo declared the edsa 1 commemoration as a working day. how frustrating! to think that the president is a pro to holidays. why not allow this particular one this year? how obvious is the politicizing. i know one of the reasons is because edsa 2 is not as popular as the 1st people power... envy and hatred of two females affect every filipinos. so gloria, global crisis cannot be bought as a reason to not give a holiday...
