Hey Banzai. Those were surreal times. Everyone was looking over their shoulders. I remember the supposedly banned tape of Japanese TV network making brisk business in our neighborhood betamax rental shop. And EDSA 86 was big fiesta 'no? Junnie, yeah we can only play 'what if'. But he did say he pities the next president after Marcos because of the mess he'll leave behind. Little did he know it'll be his wife. Deebeedee thanks for the heads-up. Changed it already. At least Fort Boni is within MManila. :)

Hi Mark, thanks for the link. My timestamp was messed up though, so here’s the new link to my post:

And I failed to mention that the cell was in Fort Bonifacio. The post has been edited.

Ninoy was the best president we never had. August 21 remains to be a day that everyone should remember that Filipinos had a martyr die for them to live and whose life we continue to waste away by voting the wrong people to lead our government.

Hehe funny enough, I had a similar experience as yours. I remember I was a kid playing with my toy soldiers when I first heard the announcement. And I had the same reaction too.

On my end, I was brought to the yellow rallies by my parents which eventually led to me standing on a creaky firescape overlooking Edsa during the 1986 revolt.
