Cover Story

For much of my life, I felt like I was a prisoner to my own emotions. Whenever I faced a challenge, whether it was in sports or in everyday life, my feelings would suddenly take over. It was as if a storm erupted inside me - waves of anger, fear, or frustration that I couldn’t control. Instead of responding calmly and rationally, I would often react impulsively, and afterward, I’d regret what I said or did. These emotional outbursts would leave me feeling powerless, filled with self-doubt, insecurity, and even helplessness. I wasted a lot of time and energy trying to fight these feelings, but they kept coming back stronger each time.

When Cardinal Jaime Sin took to the microphone on Radio Veritas on February 22, 1986, and called on Filipinos to gather at EDSA, four institutions answered: the Church, the universities, the press, and civil society. Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and General Fidel Ramos then broke with the Marcos government, giving the uprising its military backbone. Without their defection, the civilians who filled EDSA would have had no military camps to protect. Together, they helped bring down the Marcos dictatorship. For many Filipinos, it became the nation's finest hour.

Quezon Science High School: Preserving Excellence, Embracing Progress
