And I am happy that I was able to witness it and yes, MARAMING TAO. According to our Student Reagent/Youth Speaker for the Event Terry Ridon, 80,000 people attended. The police prevented the ABS-CBN helicopter from circling around the Ayala Avenue after seeing the huge number of prayer rallyists present. It seems that they did everything in their power today just to prevent the inevitability of another humiliation – if you base it from the number of people who were there.
Our nation’s religious leaders led the inter-faith prayer rally. A Muslim kid represented Islam, the bishops, priests, and a nun represented Roman Catholicism, Brother Eddie Villanueva represented the Born-Again Christians, and a native represented the Religions of the Minorities. It was not implied that this certain religious leader represented this or that but it was quite obvious.
Office workers watching in the tall buildings were improvising confetti through cutting scratch papers/newspapers showering these to us at the streets. We don’t know if they really want to show their support or they just want to get rid of the bulk of their useless papers. But personally I’m positive about it. I even grabbed one from the sky (such a dork) and kept it as a souvenir.
We saw Jun Lozada at the Yellow Cab. Saw Korina Sanchez too who seems to be unapproachable. I was intimidated to look at her (Starstruck?). Erap Estrada looks like a cartoon. Cory Aquino is Little Miss Sunshine. Binay is Hardcore. Archbishop Oscar Cruz is the Rockstar! All religious leaders apart from him delivered long dragging speeches. What did he say? “GMA Resign!” and then asked us to repeat it. That’s it!
Seek the TRUTH: Macapagal Highway, Hello Garci Controversy, Fertilizer Fund Scam, NBN-ZTE Scandal, and yada yada yada!
JUSTICE for the victims of Extra-Judicial Killings and Forced Disappearances!
Sana hindi na lang dumating si Erap. Isa siyang laughing stock. Don’t you talk about corruption. Please lang!...... I still have to blog my stand about the issues. As Sir Jal Taguibao said, RESEARCH! And before I forget, nakamayan ko nga pala si Guingona… kaso… si Guingona NANAMAN?
