#BE QUIET, TIFFANY, BE QUIET! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? STOP IT! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE YELLED AT A GIRL LIKE THIS. WHEN MY MOTHER YELLS LIKE THIS IT’S BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME. I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU, WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU. HOW DARE YOU? LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS. WHEN YOU GO TO BED AT NIGHT, YOU LAY THERE AND YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF, ‘CAUSE NOBODY’S GONNA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU. YOU ROLLIN’ YOUR EYES AND YOU ACTING LIKE THIS BECAUSE YOU’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. YOU’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE, YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE THE HELL I COME FROM, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’VE BEEN THROUGH. BUT I’M NOT A VICTIM, I GROW FROM IT, AND I LEARN. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF.

To those who were there, it seems only like yesterday when they donned yellow T-shirts and rubber shoes and walked all the way to EDSA in front of Camp Crame and Camp Aguinaldo, heeding the call to restore democracy.

There was an order from Malacañang to attack the camps, and specifically target then Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Vice Chief-of-Staff Fidel V. Ramos, who turned against the government to support a lady in yellow named Corazon C. Aquino.

Aquino, widow of former Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr., dared run for President against strongman Ferdinand Marcos.

HORAS MO NA!

Textbook history says that the Katipunan was compromised by a woman who spilled the beans in the confessional. Parish priest of Tondo Fr. Mariano Gil reported to the authorities thus he is drawn here with a pistol and dagger aimed at his person complemented with the threat, “Horas mo na!” 

Fray Gil immediately incurred excommunication. Breaking the seal of confession is a grave mortal sin. According to Catholic theology, he should be roasting in Hell.
