A Country of Dreamers

"I do this for unity in support of change. And if that means somebody must make the sacrifice, it must be me. Ako na." - Senator Mar Roxas

Giving way must have been the biggest, most important decision that the Liberal Party head has ever made in his entire life and all he gets for his selfless act is a sound of his name being chanted by those closest to him and supporters.

And now, people are clamoring for Noynoy Aquino to finally announce his declaration to run for the Presidency in 2010, who may have never dreamed of seeking a higher office at this stage of his political career nor at the recent passing of his mother. The Law Maker from Tarlac who has been seeking the advice of his family, friends and experts, stated before that he is taking things slowly because he knows the burden of being the person inside the Malacañang, based from what he saw from his mother during the her time at the office.


He gave up his dream to fulfill the dream of their forebearers, according to Roxas, whose father was also a member of the LP together with Ninoy Aquino during the height of the Marcos rule. A dream, which the veteran senator says is a common dream of a better Philippines, where good will triumph over evil.

But he says that the Filipinos should not remain as dreamers in our own country and start acting to do get the job done.

"Hindi kami maghihiwalay ni Noy. I will stand with him." - Roxas

Let's just hope that Noynoy on the other hand would not leave us hanging for nothing and would finally take the torch of leadership to give light our country.
