i agree with you CF in some point…weighing things before anything else must be done…but its not a crap dying for other people… i would say Jun Lozada, cannot be a hero, because he’s not dead yet :)…sandra cam nor rosebud cannot be called a hero for they were surrounded by people with personal vested interest…and where are they now, do we still see them? nahhh!…but Lozada is still in the circulation, still have faith (maybe he is still surrounded by the nuns and priests)that the self-less acts he did will not go in vain.

Sad for Ninoy’s and Cory’s fight.
Cory passed away when we Filipinos are dying!
When will we wake up again?

Jcc, you know as well as i do that intentions of people in history who are long dead are speculated about all the time. washington, lincoln, kennedy, rizal, bonifacio, among many, are subjects of conjectures by “historians”, whether positively or negatively. there is such a thing as “circumstantial evidence”, you know.

bencard,

he is already dead.. i cannot speculate. he died with his ambition to become president so he can free us from the tyranny of mr. marcos and save the republic from the Imelda-Ver dictatorship after mr. marcos.

you can speculate that he committed suicide knowing the danger of coming home, and yet he persisted in coming home. nothing will blame you for that kind of speculation. everyone is free to believe on anything that suits his fancy. this is the beauty of a free society.

you asked me what makes me think, so there you go. as lawyers, let’s just say we are both indulging in “educated” speculation, o.k.?

I don’t know why one’s ambition to become president voids him of any genuine desire to work for the welfare of the Filipino people and free them from a fascist regime of Mr. Marcos.

jcc, what makes me think? wasn’t he a politician who coveted the presidency, and a marcos “arch rival”, before and during the marcos’ presidency? wenceslao q. vinzons and jose abad santos wanted to see their country free and actually died for it by not collaborating with the enemy. are they accorded with more than a token honor and remembrance as “heroes” like ninoy?

bencard,

And what makes you think that Ninoy died for himself and not for his desire to make the country free? – not at all trying to convince you that he did die for that aspiration, but my caveat holds true: “we are a divided and fractious people”. I believe he did die for that aspiration while you think he died to serve his own vainglory. As ding would always say, different folks, different stroke. :)
