to unknown…

Lozada’s brother was killed by mistake by the Admin. since they were running after “a threat to the early Arroyo Administration”…

in exchange, Lozada was offered a job to work fot the government… and he accepted it… that is his background…

and I don’t see anything from that that makes him not credible to tell anything true… what is it for him anyway to do all these? fame, yes… but fame for what? for danger?

It was a cathartic experience to be there in Ayala. I don’t really join rallies but this time I felt the need for me to take part in it. It’s not that I haven’t been to one before because I was with my family during EDSA II. I was just really happy to see that most of the people, I think, were not really the regular rallyists or activists. The silent majority was definitely there breaking their silence and taking a stand. In our group alone (Im from the Ateneo AB Philo 06′ and presently taking law in the Ateneo too) much of the people who joined were not the regular rallyists but are now standing up for truth, accountability and reform. It was very good to see people from the buildings with fists raised shouting and clapping to show their support to us. Others threw confetti at us. Majority took photos and videos. Definitely, a lot of people who can’t leave work that day are part of this movement though they can’t really join the rally.

It was just disappointing that Erap was allowed to speak on stage.

To Jhay, hey, are you Jhay Rocas from Silang, Cavite? It’s me Ramil Ramos. Sayang hindi kayo nakarating, but us who were there know that a lot of people support the cause even if they weren’t there.

To the guy above who just posted a message without leaving his name: dude, I admire Lozada, at least he had the balls to show his face despite the criticisms and the threat to his life. You, on the other hand, hide behind the curtain of impunity.
I believe that Lozada’s allegations are very serious, and from a law student’s point of view, I think that he have to look deeper into it and find more evidence that can lead us to the truth. I agree with Lozada when he said that his testimony cannot stand alone because legally that’s true, we need to get Neri and the other officials to talk and connect a much stronger link to Malacanang. But I remind you all that this battle is not against Malacanang or Gloria, but a battle against corruption and deception. Let our goal not be to oust Gloria but to get the truth and make the people involved liable for any violations of the law they committed. Maybe, forcing Gloria to resign is just a step to our ultimate goal of having a clean government and society and ultimately a genuine democracy, but it is definitely not the end that we want to meet.

God bless the Philippines!

im against Lozada. He’s a real joker like a JOKER as he knows how to smile and win people’s heart. He knows how to make too much people NOISE!! He’s making them FOOL who attended the rally. I respect people’s right, but it’s not the right time. PEOPLE! YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HIS BACKGROUND INSIDE EXCEPT OUTSIDE. THINK FIRST!!

flipantasticweb.blogspot.com is one with thousands in support of the people’s clamoring for the truth and justice. The inter faith rally should be furtherly push more forward in drawing out more people , thousands more or even millions for Pres. GMA to step down..

Hi Noemi, I was supposed to attend the rally but got sick (after our dinner, maybe nahamugan ako, he he). I’m sure they’ll be more, hopefully can go na. I was in EDSA (Dos) with hubby and my baby Nicole before for 3 days. And all the while I thought di nasayang oras namin, but when I saw ERAP again in the inter-faith rally, parang nawalan ako ng gana. Sana next time, wag na sya akyat sa stage. Btw, saw you again on tv sa news when you’re in the Makati rally. Very visible ka na talaga in media…

I monitor the rally only on radio, i am thousand miles away from our country. But my sympathy and spirit is one with the people fighting for their right to express their grievances with the present regime. The inter faith rally is one of the many huge rallies in the history of filipino people fighting for their rights. The rally has shaken the kingdom but more actions and greater in number of people will be necessary to throw out the evil from her cave.

noemi, i’m so proud of our people… time and time again there’s been the charge of apathy; what really is going on is that the apparent silence is that of a quiet anger, a simmering that could soon boil over.

the day of judgment will come soon, i hope. until then, i am with you too, and everyone else who demands truth and accountability.
