Nakaka-inggit ang Hong Kong

Buti pa sila pwedeng mag-rally sa kalsada by the thousands without fear of being CPR'ed by Arroyo's police.

Dec. 4 (Bloomberg) — Tens of thousands of people marched in Hong Kong in support of faster progress to full democracy, seeking to put pressure on Chief Executive Donald Tsang to make concessions to ensure passage of his constitutional reform proposals now before the city’s legislature.

An estimated 100,000 people joined today’s march, local radio station RTHK said, citing Cheng Kar-foo, a Democratic Party lawmaker. An official police estimate wasn’t immediately available.

Read Publius Pundit report at wag kang mamatay sa inggit. While the HK people are demanding full democracy rights from China, the Philippines OTOH is slowly becoming a banana republic under this current adminstration. Fake elections, illegitimate rulers... bawal nang mag-hold ng anti-Arroyo rallies sa kalsada, at binubugbog ng pulis ni Arroyo (many without nametags at naka civilian yung iba) ang gustong mag-rally laban sa administration.

Tignan nyo po ang mga pictures dito. There are so many people on the streets. Should the Chinese gov't use the same excuse the Arroyo admin gave in banning anti-Gov't rallies... na we should not have any more rallies in the streets of Makati, Edsa and Mendiola because they will only "make traffic worse"? LOL.

Here's a good roundup of the recent HK rally for democracy.

Sabi ng Arroyo admin, tigilan na raw sila ng opposition, dahil Christmas season na. Tignan nyo naman sa HK, kahit na Christmas season na, rally pa rin, basta hustisya ang ipinaglalaban mo.

Since Christmas season ngayon, siguro magiging maluwag na ang patakaran ng Arroyo admin sa CPR nila, and maybe if we organize "prayer rallies" instead of calling them Anti-ARroyo rallies, baka payagan na tayo ni Lito Atienza na mag- uhmmm... "prayer rally" sa kalsada katulad ng nangyari sa HK.
