Kasama sa Kalsada – Karina Constantino-David
Walang permanenteng tagumpay, at wala ring permanenteng kabiguan. Pagkatapos ng aklasang EDSA, maraming nagising. Marami rin ang muling natulog. Hinarap ng marami ang bukas at ang iba nama’y tinalikuran ang nabawing dangal. Ang ikalimang tula, pagkatapos ilikas at iligtas ng U.S. ang pamilya ng mga Marcos at tuluyan nang bumagsak ang diktadura, ay kanta mula sa komposisyon ng gitaristang si Karina Constantino-David ng grupong #InangLaya, muhon ng mabuting pamamahala, aktibistang lider sa pagpapabagsak ng diktadura, guro, at peminista.

Sumilong siya noon sa tangkeng pumarada,

spot.ph reissued: Kara David & Karmina Constantino on the Lola Who Taught Them the Power of Words
(SPOT.ph) Before they were household names, they were simply Hochi and Minh—cousins who spent a lot of time together, little children running around during Sunday brunches at their grandparents’ home. What may have seemed ordinary occasions back then would, in fact, serve as foundation for the two girls who would become two of the country’s most admired journalists.
Long before they stood in front of cameras and reported on the day’s events, Kara David and Karmina Constantino were learning the art of storytelling, the power of perspective, and the quiet strength of public service from their grandmother, Letizia Roxas Constantino—writer, editor, and constant collaborator of noted historian Renato Constantino, her husband, with whom Letizia produced The Philippines: A Past Revisited, and The Philippines: A Continuing Past, among other titles.
