Two opposing sides need to have goodwill if they are ever going to settle their differences. Case in point is the Marcos-Ninoy conflict in the 80's. Ninoy said that he just wanted to talk with Marcos. He was not even allowed to step on Philippine soil.
Given that scenario, dissent had to be expressed creatively. It can now be told that we unfurled the Marcos Resign tarpaulin in the Batasan, with other brave women. Earlier, we were also the students of the First Quarter Storm. At the same time, we were also protesting our college's phase-out. At home, I was being told to break up with a friend.
That is the background we bring into our mediation advocacy.
