People Power, we will all be there

From Mr C. Lanuza, in response to last week’s newsletter.

Sumikat na ang haring araw sa isang bagong dekada.

In those first hours, by your sheer belief in the message of hope he brings, Noynoy Aquino’s online supporters breached a goal we thought might not be possible. But you did it, and you went above and beyond. Thank you, 201 thousand times (and counting)!

Indeed, we can do anything if we set our hearts to it.

This morning, I received a late Christmas present: a shirt to wear on Yellow Fridays. It says: “People Power! I was there!” I’d like to share my excitement with you, that come May 2010, we can all say together: “People Power! I am here!”

This New Year, we are committing to do our part in being the change we wish to see in our beloved nation. I hope you join us. Itong bagong taon ay isang bagong pagkakataon, para sa atin, para sa bayan.

Ilang buwan na lang, sisikat ang haring araw sa isang bagong Pilipinas.

Maligayang bagong pagkaka-taon po sa inyong lahat!

PEOPLE POWER I WILL BE THERE…
by C. Lanuza

I saw the survey results last night at tv patrol and we manage to gather 201,000 and counting..congrats to all I thought de natin mabeat ang deadline..I am very happy of the results marami pa rin pala ang nagpapatuloy ng laban ni Ninoy at ni Cory.
Silently we had been hoping for more socio-economic change after the term of Pres.Cory Aquino but i was prostrated [sic. frustrated] in the way our govt. had been run by the succeeding national leaders..

Yong laban po namin nag simula noong decada 70..During the death of senator Ninoy was perhaps the last straw..I was then the student affairs adviser of a local college here in bacolod.Many of my students are already contemplating of joining the armed struggle in the henterland of Negros.My enitial [sic. initial] count is we could create a company size force.

I told them for the last time we will decide collectively but let us listen first to the smuggled speeches of Sen.Ninoy aquino..in one of his speech he spoke..” dont use voilence because the state will have more reason to use it.. because of this smuggled tape which had been reproduced over and over Active non-violent movement was born in our place.We cancell our plans to join the rebel group.

with Noynoy on the forefront of the fight although we had been badly bruced [sic. bruised] in the years of
our fight to have a very good future for my children and the next generation to come we will go on PEOPLE POWER..I WILL BE THERE..WE WILL ALL BE THERE.

    I am supporting noynoy on the premise and the belief that he would rebuild the democratic institutions that his mother, tita cory, helped laid the foundations but was systematically destroyed by the succeeding administrations. Should noynoy turn his back on this, then count me in as one of those who will nail him on the wall in the future. But unless proven otherwise then noynoy can count on my support. MORE POWER TO NOYNOY.

    “ANG MASAKIT NA KATOTOHANAN NA AYAW TANGGAPIN NG SAMBAYANANG FILIPINO” Ang” EDSA REVOLUTION” ay nangyari sa pamumuno nina Sen. ENRILE at Gen.RAMOS dahil sa galit nila kay IMELDA hindi kay MARCOS bilang resulta ng pangaapi nito sa dalawa….at bilang gantimpala kay CORY na kapalit ng pagkamatay ni NINOY at sa kanyang pagkatalo sa eleksyon laban kay MARCOS… niloklok nila si CORY bilang presidente para matakpan nila (ENRILE AT RAMOS) ANG GINAWA NILANG PAGTATAKSIL SA KANILANG AMO NA NAGING PANAKABUTI SA KANILANG DALAWA… SO IF THERE HAD BEEN AN EDSA REVOLUTION… IT WAS ENRILE AND RAMOS WHO PLANNED AND INITIATED IT… CORY was then installed as the puppet president reaping all the glories Sen. ENRILE and Gen. RAMOS initiated…during her term what did CORY DO? Her incompetence of the presidency had been observed colmpletely in her regime…and it was JOKER ARROYO doing the job ….. that is why JOKER ARROYO carried his arrogance all thu his political life because of this….CORY did not aspire for reelection or any extention of office after one term for a very simple reason*: SHE LEARNED THAT PRESIDENCY IS NOT A JOKE…I ADMIRE HER SO MUCH FOR THIS THING…. SHE ACCEPTED SHE DOES NOT FIT THE JOB AND KNOWS VERY WELL SHE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY BUT MAYBE FOR FOR ONLY ONE THING: HINDI DAW SIYA NANGURAKOT AT NAGNAKAW NA MAARING TOTOO…but then what is the aftermath of her presidency bumagsak uli ang economya ng bansa…back to square one….THE FILIPINO PEOPLE HAD BEEN BLINDED BY THE BLACK PROPAGANDA OF THE ELITIST IN MANILA AGAINST MARCOS PERO ANG KATOTOHANAN*: MAS MARAMING NAGAWA SI MARCOS NA NAKABUBUTI SA SAMBAYANANG FILIPINO KUMPARA SA PINAGSAMASAMANG NAGAWA NG LAHAT NA NAGING PRESIDENTE NG PILIPINAS…..NOW COMES NOYNOY KARAPATDAPAT KAYA SIYANG MAGING PRESIDENTE? IS HE PREPARED FOR THE JOB? REMEMBER HINDI BIRO ANG MAGING PRESIDENTE….DOES HE HAVE THE NECESSARY QUALITIES TO FIT THE JOB? TAMA BA ANG SUMAKAY SA POPULARIDAD NG KANYANG MGA MAGULANG? ANO KAYA ANG MGA NAGAWA NYA BILANG DIPUTADO NG 9YRS. AT SENADOR NG TATLONG TAON?… KAYO NA PO ANG HUHUSGA….

      by Gustav Rani..”Ngunit marami po ang hindi naisakatuparan bagkos po ay parang nag hirap lalo na sa nga kanayunan..NgYON PO KARAPAT DAPAT BANG NAILUKLOK BILANG PANGULO NG BANSA SI NOYNOY AQUINO?Marami na ang dumaang lider ang bansa at ngayon pipili naman tayo…SINO SA KANILA ANG MAY KAKAYAHAN NA NA MAGING LIDER NA ANG KANYANG KILOS AT GAWA AY NANGGAGALING SA KANYANG PUSO….??

  4. Jet Pampolina says

    I implore all these 201,000 supporters to take heart Noynoy’s “Social Contract with the Filipino People” platform document and even raise the level of debate as to why Noynoy is the most qualified to lead the Filipinos in this juncture of our history…..
