The Seven-Year Itch

It has been seven years and two days since the massive slap in democracy's face called EDSA Dos happened, and the truth is slowly coming out that it is indeed nothing but a naked power grab by an ambitious cabal of politicians from a legitimately elected president. Recent newspaper reports have revealed that the late Jaime Cardinal Sin has disobeyed Vatican orders to stay away from politics. The Vatican might have known through direct or hidden channels that the Cardinal is part of a political plot, so they directed him to back off, but the late cardinal proceeded. Too bad he did not live long enough to see first hand what he had wrought upon this country.

Despite of these, there are still people in deep denial that they were just used by the current ruling cabal to destroy democracy. I cannot blame them, for it is human nature to deny that they have been duped. As long as this persists, there will be no closure for this sorry chapter in our nation's history.

The first step to achieve closure for our country is for all those who took part in that sham exercise to apologize to the Filipino people for disregarding their voice and bringing our country to where it is now, and to the President they deprived of his position for doing such act. After the contrition must come the cleansing. Everybody must unite to set things right once more.

The "seven-year itch" pretending to be the President should be scratched at the soonest possible time, so that the healing can begin for our land.
