We will never forget

The day that changed a nation--forever.

Today is the 41st year anniversary of the Martial Law declaration
by Ferdinand E. Marcos.
Today, 41 years after, we are still under the shadow of protracted development; 
of power-hungry politicians that continue to ravage government coffers; 
of patronage politics and cronyism; of selfishness and indifference.

Today, 41 years after and we are still a nation
dependent on some foreign power; 
of culture that is not our own.

The evil king may have long gone; but the dragons are still here...
 lurking in every corner of
the Philippine society which is slowly being fed to monsters of our own creation.
Forty one years after and the heroes and heroines have long been dead.

And though the battle still rages--
the last Dragon slayer is still here...
