GOSH! WE’LL BE ON TV!

TV screen exposure? Wow…

Yup. Tommorow, we’ll be participating in Debate with Mare and Pare…

Tomorrow is the taping. Guests are Atty. Saguisang, Francis Escudero, Patricia Evangelista (golly… my lovely Patricia Evangelista, but I don’t know her side about this issue–we’ll see tomorrow), Gov Jonvic Remulla (oh bother), Chino Trinidad, Sir Francis Escudero, that freakin’ Sec. (err) Mike Defensor (no wonder he invokes tactical barrier defenses for the president on the ‘mike’–hello? ‘defensor’ ^_^)—-and of course, our very own Maria Theresa Pangilinan (go Ate Tere!)

The topic: Ano ang mas matimbang: karapatang mag-protesta o respeto sa pangulo?, corresponding to the April 21 Grad rites hackling incident. Golly.

Ang saya-saya.

My little birdie told me, Sen Manny Villar will be sponsoring a ‘feast’ for students who will be on the ‘Arroyo’s side “daw” sa school namin. Talk about pre-emptive bribery in our very own university ^_^.

O great. Sec. Raul Gonzales is juggling his balls again.

Here’s Ate Tere’s press statement released this morning. Maybe Gloria Macapagal Arroyo might be cutting her cheese for the 5th time already.

Mr. Raul Gonzales must review pol.sci.101

The statement of Sec. Raul Gonzalez of the Department of (in)Justice today a clear political harassment - a political repression to anyone who voices their political beliefs.

Though he said that they may file charges against us in violating the Article 153 of the Revised Penal Code and issued an order to NBI to investigate on the matter, it revealed his ignorance to the law and insulting the whole justice system and NBI as an institution.

Lawyers said that the Article 153 that Mr. Gonzalez is talking about is tried in the barangay level. Degrading the prestige of the NBI where they will investigate matters that can be resolved in the barangay.

Even the administration officials of the Cavite State University are desperate to file charges against us. We have learned that they have consulted several lawyers regarding the April 21 incident and all of them said that no charges can be filed against us. So, the university officials are only left declaring us as persona non grata and asking us to apologize.

We believe that Mr. Gonzalez must review his pol.sci.101 to understand what he is doing. He is not just putting himself to mockery by people but the whole system of government including their president Mrs. Arroyo.

The youth and the Filipino people are wishing them luck in filing the charges. We are not afraid! What we are more scared of is what the next generation if the injustice today continues.

We will not falter in calling for Mrs. Arroyo’s ouster! We are even more ready than before!
