The 10th anniversary of EDSA is just about three months away, and already I hear voices tilting with the truth and casting a different net about what happened February 22-25, 1986. Imelda Marcos contends that the late dictator was the real hero of EDSA because her late husband stopped his soldiery led by Gen. Fabian Ver from subjecting the huge human mass at EDSA to history's bloodiest massacre.
Kung hindi sa Foundation for Worldwide People Power sa pamumuno ni Eugenia Duran-Apostol na totoong pursigidong ilantad ang kototohanan tungkol sa panahong Marcos hanggang himagsikang EDSA, malamang ay inaamag pa rin ang aking manuskritong Chronology of a Revolution na inilathala ng Foundation noong 1996, matapos isantabi ni Fidel V. Ramos nang limang taon. At malamang ay inalikabok lang itong Himagsikan sa EDSA Walang Himala! sa bodega ng National Centennial Commission kahit nagawaran ito, isa sa apat na sanaysay, ng "Karangalang Banggit" o "Honorable Mention" sa Centennial Literary Contest noong Agosto 1998.
