“Only the truth, not lies and deceits will set our country free. This truth challenges us now to communal action. – Juan 8:32″

“The truth is our Perpetual Help.”

On the occasion of the 22nd Anniversary of Edsa People Power Revolution, I’ve attended “Misa Para Sa Katotohanan” held in Our Lady of Perpetual Help church in Baclaran. I was there early before the mass started, many people were there already. Some of them looks like that they came from different places or they belong to the rallyists. Streamers were everywhere indicating their anguish with the present government. Overall, there were many private individuals including me.

Its totally different from the usual mass I’ve attended here, I can’t compare it to novena mass every Wednesday either. Security is impressive, some gates were closed and people are not allowed to come near the altar where Jun Lozada and President Cory Aquino were sitted. The choir sang different church songs intended for the occasion. People clapped their hands when Fr. Joseph mentioned the presence of Jun Lozada and President Corazon Aquino. Fr. Joseph also stressed what happened during the Edsa Revolution, that it shouldn’t be forgotten especially now. We shouldn’t kept our silence to the government’s anomalies and corruption. The message was very well said. Where are we now?
