women in the front lines
Policewomen (I don't have an idea if this is politically correct) were used in the battle front of the barricade by police at the Recto that leads to Mendiola where the rallyists had hoped to proceed.
The rally at Morayta corner Recto in Manila was relatively peaceful except for the commotion in the early part of the rally where some Manila Police officers got hurt. There was also an instance when a man was accosted for being suspicious-looking during the program of the rallyists. The participants were very vigilant of anyone entering their ranks. I was even asked and checked for an ID by one of the marshals.
By 4pm, the participants from Central and Southern Luzon dispersed peacefully.

first note
There's a new jazz place in town.
If you live in the Quezon City area, Kublai's in Katipunan Avenue has started offering to jazz enthusiasts a new venue to go to on Monday nights.
The Phil Jazz Ensemble is the featured band with lead guitarist Aya Yuson (yes! he's the guy holding the guitar), son of writer Krip Yuson. According to them, Krip will be jamming with them together with other friends.
Last week was their debut at Kublai's and they're hoping to get more audience to enjoy their music.
They do a wonderful set of jazz music. The 100 peso cover charge (inclusive of 1 drink) is more than enough to fill your ears that you normally hear on radio or CDs. They started playing at 9pm took a break by 10:30 and played until 12:30am. They could have played all night had the place been filled up.
On a footnote, Aya Yuson will be featured in the magazine when it releases an issue on October 24.
