edsa dispersal
2:14 pm...I was already at Edsa Shrine this morning at 8 am. It was quite and peaceful. But a group of protesters, led Bayan Sec-Gen Renato Reyes Jr and Rep Teddy Casiño went to the shrine. It was supposed to be peaceful gathering but the president ordered the dispersal of all rallyists.
The police were just following orders, even those who had no dispersal battle gear and helmet.
30 minutes after the President's order came out, a dispersal ensued.
the story continues...

getting their act together?
You may get confused with the idea of former Vice President Teofisto Guingona sitting beside the son of former President Joseph Estrada, San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito.I did too.
Here was the guy who started the impeachment trial that eventually led to the ouster of the former president.
Are bygones, bygones?
connecting lives
A Teleconferencing forum was held at DLSU-Taft last January 23. The forum was participated by students from selected Metro Manila schools and those from Mindanao.Both exchanged their views about the problems they face here in their area. Those from Metro Manila tell of the danger of the streets of Manila from criminal elements like snatchers and holduppers. Those from Mindanao tell of the danger for their lives due to the clan wars or 'rido' that could eruptat any given time.
Both were positive and upbeat that they were able to share stories. They were also able to talk about misconceptions and stereotypes. They hope to get in touch with them by visiting each other during the summer and discuss more issues that they share in common.
