side·line [noun] (plural side·lines) - place for uninvolved people: a place for people who are not involved in something, or the condition of being uninvolved

It is said that in every history there is a story behind, and in every story there are still bits of stories that makes it. In 1986, it was said that the revolution was actually a military operation in nature. Originally there were no civilians involved, just soldiers of rank and file. It was a plan hatched by Gringo Honasan that was later foiled by military intelligence until civilian pressure intervened. There was also this story that Imelda Marcos knelt before Cardinal Sin, crying and begging to call the people back, away from the EDSA streets. There are stories of Contemplative nuns from Poor Claires, Carmelites and Pink Sister who prayed in front of the blessed sacrament, prostrating on the floor or with arms outstretched in supplication for the Revolution’s success. Nuns were praying 24 hours by shifts to beg the heavens in listening to the people’s plea. All of these little bits of story were just a compendium of the bigger account that we now call EDSA Revolution of 1986. These stories provide details on what the big story is all about And as the recent NBN-ZTE scam unfolds, there are also stories that compels every event to take its shape… Big or small, yet in the sidelines, were truth behind every truth.

    I was in grade school when it happened. Sad to know that corruption does exist - but it’s not only in the Philippines. However, it’s very frustrating. If only they can be a little selfless to help our country leap forward big time.

    Never loose hope mate. We’ll get there in the end.

    Apparently, much is yet to be scoured for in the ZTE-NBN controversy. But this does not mean that Filipinos cannot and should not take a stand and condemn the traitors to the democracy both at the same time. For one, I believe that Filipinos should take a stand, at least in the sense of yearning for the truth.
