dun sa may ayala …

since our office is at the corner of ayala and paseo, i had a chance to ‘experience’ yesterday’s ‘gloria resign’ rally in makati. experience … as in naglakad kami sa gitna ng mga nagrarally sa ayala para lang makabalik sa office galing makati sports center :) we had a choice to take the herrera route or the paseo center route. syempre dun kami sa mas malapit, the paseo center route … kung bukas ang underpass. but due to ’security reasons’, sarado ang underpass. so, there we were, in our office attires and high heels, naglalakad sa gitna ng ayala at paseo, wishing na hindi kami makuhanan ng mga nagkalat ng tv cameras :) kung nung tuesday e yellow and green ang kulay ng rally (c/o of Bangon Pilipinas and JIL ni Bro. Eddie), white and red naman ang motiff kahapon. mas matapang. mas maraming tao. mas maraming pulis. parang lahat yata ng police sa makati e nandun? at higit sa lahat, mas showbiz ang dating. iba’t ibang klaseng tao, paniniwala at paninindigan. pero bakit parang kulang pa rin?

gusto ko ring magresign na si pgma, pero hindi ko makita sarili ko na umaattend ng rally ng united opposition. after edsa dos (i was there, gabi-gabi, nakikisigaw ng ‘Erap resign’ at nakikiayon kung sino man ang nasa stage), di ko talaga yata maatim na umattend ng rally na ang mga makikita ko doon e si imee at jinggoy (sa totoo lang, di kaya eto rin ang iniisip ng iba?). siguro susundin ko na lang ang sinasabi ni tita cory … magdadasal na lang ako na sana e magising na sa katotohanan si pgma at matanggap na nya na siya ang problema, and the best thing to resolve it, is for her to make the ultimate sacrifice and resign. mahirap ba yun????

oo nga pala, sana naman next time na magrarally ulit sa makati e sabihan naman sana ng mga organizers yung crowd na ligpitin nila lahat ng mga basurang iniwan nila. aba e, nagkalat sa paseo and ayala ang sangdamakmak na styro, plastic at kung ano-ano pang mga bagay na pinaggamitan nila. konting respeto naman sana sa ating kapaligiran at disiplina lang po.

Personally, I can’t find any justification in letting PGMA resign without a clear and valid idea who or what will take her place. The different groups calling for her to step down only have their own agendas in mind. And yes, the idea of attending a protest where you will be rubbing elbows with Imee (the daughter of a well-known and corrupt dictator), jinggoy (the son of a deposed president who himself was accused of being corrupt) and susan (actress and widow of a failed presidential nominee with no clear political experience) is something that is less than savory.
