PASSION FOR LIFE

Last night was the GK Christmas party, with a thematic dress up of the 80's. It was one of the coolest parties I know. Some dressed up in TOYOTA-CRISPA basketball uniforms, many had the Debbie Gibson look, some the Madonna look, and most guys with the folded sleeve open polo and undershirt with a touch of "pang baha" fold on the pants. The GK drivers, janitors, and messengers dressed up like CEO partners with coat and tie.

A particular symbol caught my eye: the ones dressed in the 1986 Edsa revolution theme. Reminds me of the unity of the Filipino people to bring back democracy into the land. Yet, if you observe 20 years after the revolution, we have become worse than before. But hope is not gone. It took 20 years to birth a movement that will renew the face of the Philippines -- Gawad Kalinga. The call to make every Filipino a hero started in 1986 and the concrete response 20 years later through GK1mb -- Gawad Kalinga Isang Milyong Bayani. Let us bring the revolution from the streets to the communities!
