Think about this… maybe Dinky Soliman is actually a GMA Agent! She is like a “Trojan Horse” placed in the opposition camp whose purpose is to make them do things that would make the Anti-GMA camp look extremely ridiculous.

Dinky would gather all the pansies, geeks, laughy-smiley weaklings, pa-sosyal, pa-itellektwal, Starbucks drinking nerds and email/text freaks and put up a freak show in places like Starbucks, Aristocrat or Baywalk. She would paint the Anti-GMA camp in that pathetic light!

GMA, oh Georgetown U Alumnus, you are a genius! Go Hoyas!

Has the Supreme Court ruled on any of these yet? I believe we should also task the Supreme Court for the excessively lengthy (and suspicious) delays in the resolution of these cases.

Based on these infos, any chance that they’ll rule soon on the Proclamtion 1017 case? It seems highly unlikely.

At the same time, isn’t it normal in democracies — even in the most progressive democracies — that there are certain designated areas that are off-limits for rallies/demonstrations?

Isn’t it reasonable to think that the country’s main business zone is not a good place for having disruptive (to traffic, business, everyday salarymen) demonstartions? There’s certainly some logic in that thought. I would think that even the rallyists would see that it doesn’t help their cause when they greatly inconvenince those who they are trying to win over…..

anna, matagal nang bawal mag-hold ng anti-arroyo rally sa kalsada, whether sa mendiola o sa makati o sa edsa.

there was no problem sana with the rallies that were planned at edsa on feb. 24… it was meant to celebrate edsa 1986. but when arroyo heard na baka maging isang anti-arroyo event ito, he declared SOE and cancelled all rally permits.

“Aren’t the mayors empowered to issue protest permits?”

most of the mayors in manila are pro-arroyo, so they refuse to give permits to the anti-arroyo groups to organize rallies.

si mayor binay anti-arroyo nga, pero pinagbawalan naman ni arroyo na mag-issue ng rally permits.

In a virtual imposition of martial law, President Arroyo yesterday ordered that Makati City will no longer be a place for rallies by the political opposition.

The Chief Executive’s order rams the consti-tutional rights of a local chief executive, in this case Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, an opposition leader and among those calling for the resignation of Mrs. Arroyo.

The President’s order would automatically nullify any permit granted by Binay to any group.

And so it goes,
Chump-chon nuns spawn
-you guessed it.

Chump-chon chics.

And for as long as the Chumpeen poster girls stays in the Palace;
all that the people and this nation are left with is:

-Chump change.

1.Put up a huge poster of GMA. On the side, sell ripe or semi-rotten tomatoes at P20 apiece and P5 for the privilege to pelt the poster with tomatoes. Call it Fund Raising Drive for the Tomato Growers of the Philippines.

2. Poster-making contest- the objective: any interpretation of GMA the president; any medium, any size. The most malevolent gets first prize; the most gentle torn to pieces.

Hahaha!

Before I thought that no strings attached means a string attached to an elephant..an elephant too tired to struggle, even the thinnest string is not worth the effort.

Pinahirap ko pa madali ..strings pala is for puppets…
puppet show lang pala with the puppet dressed in a Hawaiian shirt.
