Local political leaders were also kept busy trying to answer questions. But the 27th Masskara reaches feverish level tonight with a big street party at the countdown to the Bacolod Charter Day celebration.

But it was demonstrated over the weekend that real change of mindset and hearts as well as institutions are achieved by those who just silently plod on and implement revolutionary ideas.


This change of attitude became evident over the weekend in Negros Occidental. And the impact of these so-called silent revolutions will endure better than the dramatic outcry against policies and practices of the government.
