Kasaysayan



Seven months ago, I visited a historical mass tomb on top of a hill in Mayoyao, Ifugao. It was a cave where remains of beheaded Japanese soldiers were buried and kept during the WWII. That was history. Isang kasaysayan na lugar ng Mayoyao..
When I worked on the papers of a school for its registration and legal start, it took me 2 summers to finish and do all the 24 documents alone that were required by the DepEd. The school got a recognition, started and operated. But the imprimatur to administer the school was graced to another person by an authority who has the Lord's blessing accordingly. And history keeps the facts.
Lakas Tao which became Lakas NUCD and later again became Lakas CMD which was founded by FVR, JDV and the late Raul Manglapus is now seemingly divided after the ouster of the speaker JDV. Today's headline says that JDV can be possibly ousted as Lakas CMD president after his long speech at the House delivered before his ouster. This may happen during their incoming Lakas CMD party convention very soon. Many said that his speech was already damaging to the administration of GMA and the platform of the political party.
A man founded an institution and later he will just be thrown away. History attests this.
There are reasons why conflicts arise. Vested interests and egoism mostly cater them. Individuals, partners, organizations, instituions or even nations experienced these.
Palaging nasa kasaysayan ang lahat ng pagbabago. Masakit sa isang sulok, masaya sa kabila ngunit kailangang ituloy ang nilalandas ng kasaysayan. History gathers the facts.
The cooling off of the two sides takes time. It may also need a grave or a cave to keep the history of the past in order for the two sides to mend again if not to go with two parting directions that may leave their original vision far to be reached by both.
Empathy can somehow help one side if not both. But the vision cheerished from the very beginning should not be sacrificed by both. The vision shall keep the ideals and history shall cheer for the moment of its accomplishment.
