What ifs and Why nots
Thursday, June 01, 2006
The problem with people who won't believe in anything is that they end up believing in just about anything.
May Da Vinci code daw, meron din kaya Amorsolo code? Haha. Wala lang.
I was just aimlessly surfing the web the other day when deposed president Estrada (yes after all this time he's still on the news, as if we haven't had enough of him) said that prominent personalities like GMA, the late Cardinal Sin, Chavit Singson, etc. all conspired to remove him from office.
I thought he was going to tell the press next about how secret clues were hidden in FPJ movies and how the KKK is still alive all this time, spreading God knows what throughout the unknowing Filipino populace. Haha. I guess that would be one heck of a story. Para maiba naman.
Pero pano nga kaya kung ganun? What if? I guess people asking questions like that are the common lifeblood of all persistent conspiracy thoeries.
What if, for example, this scene really happened.
Midnight, the banks of Pasig River. A pair of shadows appear pushing a small rowboat towards the water.
"Mauna ka na Andres, dahan dahan lang baka may makarinig." Whispered the man in an overcoat as he slowly eased the boat, the oars at his side.
Andres sat and waited as Pepe finds a comfortable position. He is the designated rower tonight.
"Bakit dito pa? Ano ba ang napakahalaga mong sasabihin?" Asked Andres as Pepe slowly rowed.
"Andres, hinog na ang panahon. Ipinapakiusap ko sa iyo, likumin mo na ang mga Katipunero mula sa hilaga at timog. Maghanda kayo Andres, sa nalalapit na rebolusyon." Pepe said as he stared across towards Andres.
"Rebolusyon? Tila nababaliw ka na Pepe. Reporma ang iyong itinutulak, hindi rebolusyon. Iyan lamang ba ang iyong sasabihin at niyaya mo pa ako rito? Ikaw na rin ang nagsabi, lubhang mas malakas ang kawal ng Espanya. Baril laban sa tabak, Pepel, baril laban sa tabak." Replied Andres, barely able to check himself.
"Iyon ang alam nila. Alam ko rin Andres, na tanging kamatayan ko ang magsisilbing bigkis, ang magtutulak sa inyo upang mag-alsa. Napag-isipan ko na ito. Isa sa mga araw na ito ako ay kanilang darakpin, ikukulong. Ang magiging kabayaran sa ipaparatang nila sa akin ay tanging kamatayan. Hinog na ang panahon, Andres." Uttered Pepe, as he stares at the now tear-drench cheeks of Andres. "What a sight," he told himself, "a hero's tears reflecting the moon over Pasig."
"May iba pang paraan, Pepe, handa kaming maghintay." Andres cried... crying but at the same time knowing that the person with him in the boat is one of the brightest minds of their time. Calculating and intelligent, while he, a lowly fan-seller from Tondo. Yes, Pepe is speaking the truth, it is indeed time.
"Ang alingawngaw ng baril sa Bagumbayan and inyong magiging hudyat," said Pepe, as he put his arms around his friend. "Hindi tayo makakalimutan ng kasaysayan, kaibigan. Sasabihin nilang di tayo natulog sa paglatag ng gabi sa Bayang Tagalog. Huhusgahan tayo ng kasaysayan kaibigan, ngunit di nila malalaman ang ating napag-usapan ngayong gabi. Ang Ilog ng Pasig ang ating saksi. Habang ito ay dumadaloy, ang dugong ating binuhos ay mananatiling buhay at ito ay mananalaytay sa mukha ng Bayang Tagalog, di matutuyo, habang may Anak ng Bayan na handang lumaban." Pepe said as he geared up and balanced himself up.
Andres can only look up in silence and awe of this magnificent man. "Di tayo mauunawaan ng kasaysayan," Andres said to himself as he watched Pepe dive and swim towards the opposite bank.
Found it in this forum.
It reminded me of the local underground comics called Baylan when it appeared back in 2002 (I think). Wala lang. I just caught myself asking then, what if?
Haha wala lang. Sabi nga nila, kaya rin ng Pinoy. Marunong din naman siguro tayong magtago ng sekreto. Anong malay natin? Haha.
Well, all I know is that we can never really know what happened those days. Not unless scientists can overcome the improbability of time travel.
