What is development? Well perhaps it’s the evolution of something to reach its zenith. The metamorphosis of an organism to be in it’s adult form. It is the process of creating something to attain progress. It is a leap forward to achieve improvement.
Development is a step by step movement. It does not happen in just a single snap of a finger or in a wink of an eye. It takes time. Seconds. Minutes. Hours. Days. Weeks. Months. Years. And long, long years of shaping.
After the post-war era of World War II, during the time of rebuilding and reconstructing I was very happy to say that we were once among the superpowers. The Philippines was among the second world countries, strong and proud.
Seventies, the time of dictatorship were the Marcoses rule the top. Then from glory and glitz, we fell from rags to riches. The realignment of priorities. The rise from the fall marks the legacy of the 80’s. The historical EDSA Revolution took place during this decade., where sectors from women and the Lumads flourished.
Development doesn’t stop here. In this world nothing is constant. So we must say that our battle for development does not end here. A new time has come to life. New opportunity for improvement, another challenge to struggle, to live for and even to die for.
