EDSA 1 2009 Holiday

Malacañang announced February 23, 2009 a holiday for STUDENTS (only) to celebrate EDSA 1.

This was made through Proclamation 1728 signed by Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita.

Just wondering why the Proclamation limits the holiday only to students. When in fact, baka ang mga estudyante ngayon eh hindi pa nabubuhay noong panahon ng EDSA 1 (1986).

Anyway, I just thought that maybe History books should now include to teach students about EDSA 1, EDSA 2, EDSA 3. I'm just not sure if these are already included. But these should be. We do not want the young to neglect Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio, however, they also need to know and learn from Marcos, Ninoy, even Cory, Erap, etc.

Trip to Jerusalem

Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita announced on January 21, 2008 that there will be a Cabinet Revamp effective February 1, 2008.

Former PNP Chief Avelino Razon, Jr. and now Deputy Director General of the National Security Council will take over Hermogenes Esperon's position as Presidential Adviser on Peace Process.

Esperon will be the head the Presidential Management Staff, currently supervised by Cerge Remonde.

Remonde will take over Jesus Dureza as the new Press Secretary.

Dureza will be appointed as the new Presidential Legal Counsel which used to be the position of Sergio Apostol.

So para palang Trip to Jerusalem lang ang nangyari. Kasi nagpapalit-palit lang ng posisyon. In the end, isang tao lamang talaga ang nawala sa posisyon-si Sergio Apostol.

Pero hindi ba talaga namang nag-retire na dati pa si Apostol Sergio?
