Journaling:
I remember when I was able to participate in my own countrys history. It was late 2000, and a scandal broke out involving then-President Joseph Estrada, and millions of pesos of jueteng money. He was impeached in January 2001, and millions of Filipinos watched his trial on TV. Despite the tedium and length, people were glued to the proceedings, in the markets, at businesses, everywhere. Then came the historic Senate vote on whether to open the envelope supposedly containing further evidence against Estrada. When the final count ended in NO, the people were outraged and took to the streets. I was one of those people. We wore black ribbons around our arms and rallied to oust Estrada. With millions amassed at the EDSA shrine, the armed forces withdrew their support for Estrada, and VP Gloria Arroyo was sworn in as president. We had done it. The people had made their voices heard. And I had played a part in that moment of Philippine history. I have no photos to show for it, but I will not forget when our collective voices made all the difference.
