I read in the newspaper a couple of days back when Cory Aquino was said to have apologized to Erap saying sorry and that EDSA 2 was a mistake. A couple of days later, news articles mention that Cory was just "joking" while making that statement.
Cory Aquino, being an icon of democratic freedom (especially duriing 1986 edsa revolution), in the first place, should not be making unnecessary and "jokingly" remarks especially during the time when the Philippines is in "turmoil". When people are confused who to believe in, and what to believe in.
As an icon, Cory Aquino should be prudent enough to think first, before speaking. She, as an icon and as a Filipino leader, should stand up for what she believed, and believes in. Being a leader, who lead one of the biggest revolutions in the country's history, and then in a couple of years... regrets it? Makes me, as a Filipino and citizen of this country, very disappointed. Is this where our country is going?
I went to EDSA II. Until now, I still believe that ousting ERAP was a very good and wise decision. I still like living in this country. This is where the family is. But ever since I was able to work and stay abroad for a couple of months, I still truly wonder, how come if they can have a pretty great country, why can't we have the same as well? They did it, then it shouldn't be impossible for us right?
