An historical rupture?


The amazing thing about all this is that it's totally spontaneous; it can't be, couldn't have been, orchestrated by a mad and hideous conspiracy. It has the moral clarity and historical certainty --the pure bliss -- of an impossible dream. Those who read Gramsci for critical insight will call it a caesura, this uncoordinated but synchronized movement of people that we all hope, is already the tipping point.

Well-said, Romel. It was, as if, by some divine orchestration, Filipinos found from the depths of their souls a force that impelled them to go to the streets and bare their hearts for one woman who embodies our democratic ideals.
