‘Let us dream’ - BusinessWorld Online

It is a more sedate and serene Christmas — as it should be, for its true meaning as the joyful celebration of the coming of the Christ Jesus to redeem Fallen Man for Eternity.

For Filipinos , Pope Francis’ invitation, “Let us dream” might have more significance and urgency for its nuances and references to the COVID-19 pandemic complicating the sociopolitical fragility and economic vulnerabilities of the country. His exhortations to face reality and not to disregard but to act to change life for the better, particularly for “those in the periphery,” comes as a loud whisper to the collective conscience — today. Now.

We have national elections on May 9, 2022. A fearful number of candidates are openly defiling and denying the glory of our EDSA Revolution. Marcos Jr. is even running for president, denying Marcos Sr.’s alleged stolen billions and human rights violations and defying court claims for unpaid taxes and undeclared wealth. History is being revised before our wide open eyes.

That is precisely what Pope Francis stresses when he says, “Let us dream,” but dream for those in the periphery, not only for yourself, because your dreams will happen and become reality only if you dream for All.
