Don’t Tear the Movement »

The Black and White Movement protested when former president Erap went on stage during the inter-faith rally. I appeal to my comrades at the BWM not to give a big fuss out of this.
We must be laser focus on our fight now–THE ENEMY IS GLORIA. Our mission is for the restoration of morality in governance. […]

A Mandate From Heaven »

The PNP, the tuta ni Gloria, said that its only 15,000. Yet, the video above taken by an Inquirer reporter shows otherwise. There is, in fact, 80,000 people who took the challenge of PNP Chief Razon very seriously. These numbers are signs from above, a mandate from heaven, so to speak, for the immediate ouster […]

A Trap »

The hands of de-escalation experts are now being felt in the light of the ZTE deal. A concerted effort to de-escalate the continuing and increasing momentum of groups opposing and asking for Arroyo’s head through the media, mass organisations and established institutions is being implemented involving the highest down to the lowest rungs of the […]

Higher forms of struggle »

Okey, let me get this straight.
Gloria admitted having learned of the anomalies preceding the ZTE deal, a day before she signed the agreement. She told the public that she can’t do anything about it then because she’s already in Boao to meet with the Chinese president. Still, she managed to tell the Chinese president that […]

Reflections »

Snafus marked the 22nd year celebration of EDSA. One most significant was the snag in unfurling the Filipino flag. Alex Magno cynically remarked that snafus happen, those can’t be avoided and we must not get too superstitious about it.
Well, I think Magno is well aware of how the Chinese view things political. They said […]

Why The People Should Not Expect An AFP Intervention »

The presscon of the two Juniors
I was listening to the speeches and answers of AFP Chief Esperon and PNP Chief Razon, two “Juniors” so to speak of Gloria during their joint “spontaneous” press conference inside Camp Aguinaldo. Among those they said, Esperon’s answers came as “refreshing” to me. He reiterated the AFP’s support to the […]

The Spirit Of EDSA »

Today’s celebration of EDSA 1 at the EDSA Shrine was a veritable loyalty check for the AFP. Noticeably, the crowd was not there, as if EDSA was hijacked by the usual opportunists. Those who were on the other side of the fence so to speak, those who fence-sit and those who even mocked EDSA were […]

God Save Lakas Plan »

Why all of a sudden, groups unite and call for the resignation of Gloria. Why the estrangement of relations between Gloria and JDV, one of the political timbers composing Lakas-CMD. Here’s the thing: whatever is happening now would definitely lead to Gloria’s ouster, either forcefully or thru resignation. Groups are supporting this call for obvious […]

Here We Go Again »

My friend, Fel Maragay wrote an interesting piece today. He said that the opposition is backing away from calls for Gloria’s resignation. What struck me was the statement of Loren Legarda which says that the reason why she’s not calling for Gloria’s ouster is that “the alternative might be worse”.
Hello, Loren, you are out of […]

A Clarion Call »

Seven years of continuous state tyranny and repression have numbed most of us to apathy. Some of those who hold the torch for democracy and freedom have either relegated themselves to the desks of everyday mundane existence. Some pushed on, with only a glimmer of hope left in their hearts. Others succumbed along the way, […]
