I have a full time job now, so I’m not going to be doing much posting anymore. Not that anyone necessarily would have notice or cared, but this is my explanation.

Congrats! :)

JGB’s daughter’s eulogy.

“We remember two loved ones of the EDSA Shrine. We would have loved to see both of them here. And when we are hurt, when we feel betrayed, when we feel lost, when we feel confused, don’t we sometimes say, ‘Kung buhay lang si Cardinal Sin, tapos ka na (If Cardinal Sin were alive, you’re finished)? Don’t we sometimes say, ‘Kung naririto lang si Tita Cory, nandidito din tayo (If Tita Cory were here, we’d also be here)?

But the EDSA Shrine is not Cardinal Sin; the EDSA Shrine is not Tita Cory. The EDSA Shrine is you and [I]; therefore, if we are here, the EDSA spirit must live on.

People who believe in peace, in integrity, in the power of prayer, those who love the Philippines need not die with the death of Tita Cory and Cardinal Sin. They must live on, and they must live on through us.

Do not look at the people we miss; look at the challenge ahead. The EDSA Shrine is not a building; [it] is you. The EDSA Shrine is people, and [it] can never, never be defeated because it stands for the spirit that can only come from God.”

Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, Homily on the 20th Anniversary of the EDSA Shrine; via (Bishop Soc: Am ashamed of EDSA II beneficiary - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos)
