Teddyboy Locsin wrote: "It turns out democracy is as frequently the enemy of freedom as is dictatorship. In fact, the freedom of Filipinos and Egyptians was never truer and greater than when they were fighting for it under a military dictatorship, and considerably lesser after they started invoking democracy when they were free of dictatorship. Look at the ignorant, popular outcry to please the president by impeaching the chief justice of the Supreme Court on unimpeachable charges. Yes, we were never freer than when we were under the thumb of the dictator. It turns out we are only really free when we are fighting the government—dictatorial or, better yet, democratic—and not when we are going along with it like sheep or sheep shit." businessmirror.ph/index.php/en/news/opinion/17041-fighting-is-true-freedom
