Independence

This month is probably one of the most significant months in Philippine history. For one, the country is celebrating its 112th year of independence. And of course, come the end of the month will be the inauguration of a new president and vice president. Hopefully these events would finally lead to a truly independent Philippines, where democracy is not just a word, but rather a state.

On the topic of democracy, I've stumbled upon RG Cruz' blog and read his commentary about democracy entitled "Democracy without ethics is dumb". The piece was very timely. Especially now that we, Filipinos, go overboad of how we define democracy.
