I BELIEVE that the Makati rallies play an important part in awakening the real feelings of the Filipino people.
The true sentiments of disgust and loss of trust in the government must be expressed, must be shown for the entire world to see. This GMA government and all its henchmen will do all at their disposal to prevent and stop all negative sentiments that our people will manifest toward them. Even a “no-fly zone” over Makati where the rally was being held was suddenly declared.

I wonder why those senators are so eager to become president when being senator is much easier, they are not the executive branch: no program to execute, just investigate this and that. Di ba nila alam that by making the situation awful, they will inherit a bad state when they themselves become president? Or they don’t care because they have so much money anyway, that these are all just game for power this time?Poor ordinary Filipinos, caught in the middle of power struggle of your politicians…

Im avid supporter of Madame Corazon Aquino during her fight gainst the Marcos dictatorship and all those years of her unstable reign as transitional president..BUT I was so disappointed to see her in front of the Makati rallies with a corrupt and immoral Erap Estrada.
If we looked back, she misses the opportunity to cleanse our corrupt political system after Marcos downfall, the momentum where she can ruled with revolutionary government to overturn the country and completely reform the country…and now, she’s siding with once she condemned Estrada??
I don’t think Ninoy Aquino will be happy If he’s alive today, seeing his widow will be among those “trapos” he hated so much!!

like most of you here, i am suffering too from a malaise called edsa fatigue. hence, another edsa does not appeal to me anymore. but that does not mean i want corruption to continue. no. like what one blogger has said, minimize the risks. and another people power is a disaster for the economy. we all want what’s best for her. let’s wait for 2010, just like what the americans are doing, wait till nov 2008 to boot out bush, even though his ratings are so low. no people power in america…

Ordinary Filipino, we have the same sentiments.
I feel the media is inflaming the issues. These are the media who are not reporting the truth. NOT BALANCED. They just want to report what they they think will create more controversies and chaos. Pag magulo nga naman ang balita, mas binibili ng tao. BUSINESS as usual.
Ang hindi nila alam, lalolng lumalabas na di na kapani-paniwala ang kanilang mga balita dahil OBVIOUS ang kanilang pagiging BIAS!
Ang alam ng media, marami pa ring tao ang madaling maniwala. Huwag naman sana nilang abusuhin ang kamangmangan ng mga tao. Be responsible.
