Leaders of the Opposition and multi-sectoral groups strongly denounce House’ moves to initiate Charter
change though constituent assembly in a mammoth rally in Makati and protest actions in other parts of the country.

Beware! Con-Ass gyrations spark public outrage!

***

Senators tell Malacañang and its House allies to back off from attempts to rewrite the Constitution without Senate participation or face the risk of triggering political and economic instability.

Back off or face derailment, they warn Cha-cha Train operators.

***

Senators Legarda, Roxas, Lacson, Aquino, Estrada and Biazon join Makati rally while Escudero and Pangilinan issue separate statements of condemnation against RH 1109.

They’re really kicking the Con-ass. Call it: The Revenge of the Solons.

***

Loren points out that the rich and the poor are against Cha-cha while Kiko adds that “If they will not listen to the people, they might end up losers in history,”

They could lose but worse, we could all lose, tsk-tsk.

Mar Roxas distributes anew garlic and “Boy Bawang” snack packs to dramatize his opposition to “Con-Ass-wang.”

Comedy will somehow help us survive this crisis but let’s hope that “Boy Bawang” does not become our national staple, he-he.
***
Former President Cory Aquino also expresses strong opposition to Con-Ass and laments, "There is nothing that causes me greater pain than to see our people betrayed again and again by those they have elected to lead and serve.”

Tita Cory and Church leaders feel betrayed. Can People Power be far behind?
***
Multi-sectoral groups such as Bagong Alyansang MakaBayan, Gabriela and SALINLAHI vow to continue with protest actions, as necessary.

They’ll rage against the dying of the light, as a great poet suggested.

President GMA, however, stresses that unity and not division would prove good for the country.
Yes, better make that the order of the day, Madame President.

Meanwhile, as the political front heats up, the Department of Health confirms more case of H1N1 flu infections in the country. Mayday! No to political tension, no to swine flu pandemic!
