Different Agendas Trying to Sing in Unison
Let me present a different take on this matter peeps.
Reports have been flying about a rally in Makati City this coming Wednesday, June 10th. This rally is a so-called expression of sentiment against the dumbass con-ass that was done in a sneaky way (yes, while the whole Philippines was in deep slumber) by our dear congressmen and women.
Its okay to express everyone’s sentiments about this matter. Heck, everyone should be outraged by this dumbassery by the House of Representatives. But going to the rally with a different agenda is an entirely different thing. Well, as you know, there will be a lot of groups going there – either from the left, the right, the up and down. And let’s face the reality, the rally tomorrow will be a concoction of different agendas trying to sing in unison.
Parang in tagalog, kanya-kanyang papelan na yan. 
In English, pass your test papers, finished or not finished. 
But just like a choir composed of different caliber of voices, ranging from soprano to the lowest voice, I hope that different agendas will be able to sing in unison. I just hope that they can get a good conductor.
Will the rally get the big numbers tomorrow? Reyna Elena asked me. I told him her, I dunno. For me, everything seems nebulous at the moment. I am actually engaged in wishful thinking, that the Philippines will soon find true unity. You know, isasantabi ang mga agendas chorva para lang makamit ang goal para sa ikabubuti ng lahat. True unity seemed to be elusive nowadays with different political groups and figures arising – with different agendas.
Ibat ibang boses ang naririnig ko, iba-iba din ang tono. Sus ginuu, wag lang sana maging sintunado in the end. Parang sintunado boyses, just like what Reynz was crying one time. 
I am still anti-conass peeps. I still hate this stinking move by the House of Representatives. But I hope that the upcoming mass movements are indeed airing a unified sentiment against con-ass. Wag sanang gawing springboard ng ilang foolitikos just to get media attention and magmukhang messiah cum foolitiko chorva sa mata ng mga tao. Wag sanang gawing Mr. Puge pageant ang mga mass movement na yan.
Tingnan nyo ang Edsa Dos. Just base it from that. From that moment on, I believed that true unity is indeed elusive and the Edsa thing is already a MYTH.
Maybe you will ask me what’s the best recourse aside from a rally? Hmmm..
In my own bubwit thinking, I think one of the best ways to sap revenge from those tongressmen is NOT TO VOTE FOR THEM ANYMORE. Really and seriously. Heck, the reason why they are there is because somebody voted for them. I will not elaborate further on how they extracted their votes but this coming elections, I want to emphasize that we should do background research on these people, just like the same way HR folks are doing to screen applicants who are applying as an additional employee on their payrolls. Get your sweet revenge in the next elections.
P.S.
I know that this is a different take. Bago tayo magbarilan (lol) este maghuntahan, I know Barrio Siete respects diversity. We dont like cannibalization sa mga posts at comment threads di ba? Haha.
Now, fire away your comments and let the wonderful huntahan begin!

one more question: will there be singing by some dysfunctional team? like Cory: Erap? hahaha!
Hmmm…nice question. I think Bayani Fernando will do something like mala-Andrea Bocelli. Hehe.
teka pare sinung kakanta ng bayang magiliw perlas ng silanganan sa rally?si martin ba? magdadala ko itlog at kamatis pambato este dun ko na lulutuin dahil mukhang concert ang kakalabasan nya.
Lee,
Baket kamatis ang ibabato mo kay Martin e andyan naman ang kawa ni John??
sakit nun pare
Pareng Lee,
Kung babato ka lang, make sure it hurts. Hehe.
E kasi naman, kumukulo ang dugo ko dyan kay Martin kasi gumawa siya ng sarili nyang national anthem.
Patugtugin na lang ito

Everytime I hear these renditions, I feel both elated and sad at the same time
Rosa,
Naku. Lagi kong naririnig ito noong Edsa 1.
Hay.
Silver, I just wanted to share the version of Bayan ko that was just recently sang in California. The sopranos and the tenor really did a good job and I get the chills especially at the rousing Finale. The other one was an entry of Pinaymommy who put together some very inspiring collection of the beautiful sceneries in the Phil. and the children doing the native dances. I guess you are tired of that song apparently.
No Rosa.
I dont mean anything offensive on what I have said previously.
I liked that song too. It makes me remember our heritage. I kinda sigh because the song is calling for unity for our country and to sacrifice something that we have for our dear motherland and yet, the unity became elusive with the different agendas and everything.
Gotyah Silver. When we learn to elect good leaders who have the welfare of Filipinos at heart will the Philippines move forward. Sometimes, being in power changes people. I am sad too about all that is happening in our mother country. Here you can see an example of how good government benefits everybody. Where poverty is not that prevalent and that any one reach as high as he aims. Kailan kaya ito mangyayari sa atin?
Kailan mangyayari sa atin?
Unless someone as good as Barack Obama will be elected to the public office.
Nkas, obamagurlz ka rin pala
Very true, walang pure symphony ikanga…kumbaga, hinahanap ko pa rin yung tono ng solidong papanaw (vision) para sa Pinas tapos ang mga hakbangin kung paano makarating dun. Kahit na ang mga karamihang sumasali sa rally, palagay ko’y di rin alam ang kung ano talaga ang dapat mangyari sa Pinas 5 years from now or 10 years from now. Politicians are only astute enough to ride on and exploit the exigencies of the moment to get people’s votes.
DFish,
True din yang sinabi mo. Nagmistulang showbiz starlets ang mga politicians natin dito.
Tingnan nyo ang Edsa Dos. Dun pa lang, ang lakeng sablay nun.
I agree.
maraming klase kasi ang sumasali sa rally:
1. mga taong nakakaunawa
2. mga taong hindi nakakaunawa pero sumasali rin sila dahil nandoon ang kanilang boy friend, girlfriend o mga barkada
3. mga taong kasapi ng mga organisasyon na lahat na lang ng issues sinakyan para lang hindi makalimutan ang kanilang pangalan at ipakita sa mga nagbibigay ng pundo sa kanila na
sila ay may ginagawa
4. mga taong nandoon lang kasi hindi sila makauwi
5. mga nagtatrabaho sa gobyerno na tinatakot ng mga mayor o sinumang pulitiko na may hawak sa kanilang employment
6. mga pulitikong gustong magpakitang gilas
Ms.Cat,
Andun ba yung mga mahihilig sumakay sa BANDWAGON?
ang mga raliyista e nagsasama pa ng kanilang mga chikiting para hindi ma force ng mga pulis. syempre kawawa nga naman ang mga bata.
ka uutak ng mga hitad!
Hahahah….
Gagawin daw nilang panangga ang mga bata. Hahahah…
nasaan ang masa?
aminin natin na ang people power ay inabuso ng mga pulitiko rin. tuwing sila ay tatangkaing paalisin sa puwesto, ginagamit nila ang people power aka
mga taong binabantaan nilang maalis din pag sila natanggal sa puwesto.
ang iba ay knarir ang pagsasama sa people power. Limandaan kada attend sa rally.
may pagkain pa at transportasyon, na pag nagdistribute na ng pagkain ay nawawala sila doon sa mga puwesto nila.
Nang ito ay bumaba sa 300 dahil ang mga “recruiters” ng mga ” professional” protesters
ay kinukupit ang 200 mula sa ibinigay ng pulitiko, ayaw na rin nilang sumama.
imagine sa “people power” meron ding corruption.
Kaya nga yung sinasabing “Edsa people power” is already a MYTH.
Nung nakita ko ang Edsa Dos (highschool lang ako noon), nakita ko na there is something wrong about that movement.
I know this is already crying over spilled milk kasi ang sinisisi ko kung baket ganito ang nangyari e yung mga character behind the Edsa Dos and the people na nagpauto sa movement na yun.
They are thinking of Erap as the ultimate evil chorva but they provided a replacement na higit pa sa pag-ka-evil.
When doing a movement like that, you cant afford to do mistakes kasi iisipin mo ang repercussions nyan after 5-10 years. Ano ang magiging effect nyan sa iyo pagkatapos etc.
E yun nga lang, nagmistulang rock concert yun, o e di ano sila ngayon. Puro rockheads ang nasa Malacanang.
what i mean dun sa tanong ko was this one na sinabi ni Cat
that is,
if his rally won’re be successful, dahil we were fooled nang mga foolitoko esp the EDSA ones.
sa nkaraang rally sa makati kung saan isinama si erap ni jejomar binay, nag-walk out ang grupo na hindi sang-ayon na makasama siya.
nagpakita ito ng walang unity.
hindi napansin ng bayan pero napansin ng gobyerno.
aha, mahina pa rin sila.
nang humingi ng tawad si cory kay erap, lalong nawala ang unifying factor niya para maglead.
nang magmura si mar roxas, bagsak ang kaniyang popularidad.
napansin ng tao ang paggamit ng issue para sa pagsulong niya ng kaniyang ambisyon. gusto rin niyang ma-identify sa masa. Pero hindi lahat ng mahihirap nagmumura ng P….. ina.
Ditto.
i think Cory apologizing to Erap was just right. in my personal opinion, umpisa pa lang, mali na yung edsa dos. it was a conspiracy by those powers that be and some generals to get rid of a populist president (however corrupt he may be).
i found it dangerous not only to the duly elected ones but to the entire republic itself. kasi tuwing me di tayo magugustuhan,instead of going through the legal process, io-overthrow na lang natin. bakit pa tayo nag e election di ba?
democracy is a long process. if we wanted a shortcut, i am in favor of it as well, but we have to make sure it would work.
Mga Bloggers:
sa mga bloggers lang wala ng unity. Kaniya-kaniya may pakulo.
May mga nag-attempt na pagsamasamahin ang mga bloggers o mga blogs na nagkokondena sa Con-Ass (alam ko yon dahil na ilink ang aking blog entry condemning con-ass), yong iba imbes sumama, gumawa rin sila ng kanilang gimik para ang credit naman ay mapunta sa kanila.
Ano ba ang kaibahan ng NO sa HIndi?
ay naku mam cat para namang dimo kilala karamihan sa kanila, gustong pumailanlang ng solo at sumikat sa larangan ng blogging, kung magkakaisa lang sana ang mga bloggers at di nagpapagalingan, marami ng beses napatunayan ang power of blogging— yun nga lang kung magkakaisa
kanya-kanya kasi ring papelan.
Hahaha…
Meron ngang nakikilink chorvalais ng entry chuva chuva…
Sus ginuu, puro nga gimik.
Whoah! that’s news to me! ano yan? parang SILA MISMO? hahahaha
Aba ewan. Kanya-kanya na talagang gimik.
Hahhaha…
i saw some clips sa youtube regarding the 2nd blog summit ba yun? dyusmiyo, kanya kanya epal.
Forum:
Magandang magbasa sana ng forum o group blog tungkol sa Con-ass, pero may mga forum naman na pagkatapos ng isa dalawag comments, batuhan na sila ng putik sa isa’t isa. hindi na tuloy malaman ng mga nagbabasa kung ano ba talaga ang Con-ass at bakit mali ito at kug bakit ang mga kongresista ay nagpakita ng kanilang kamangmangan sa pag-interpret ng Batas.
kung bakit minadali nila ang pagpasa…kung bakit pagkatapos nilang ipasa ay umalis si Gloria…dumating sa Mancao…sinuspendi ang klase hanggang June 15 at dedma sa nangyari.
TSEH NINYO.
I really loved that TSEH ng pusang ito. Teka, nakapatent na ba yan?
.
hindi mo pala alam bakit ipinasa ninyo? TSEH.
Yang si Speaker e parang laging BORN YESTERDAY.
HAHAHAHA
gusto ko kasi nila established muna. kaya tayo bumabagsak puro tayo BAHALA NA sa susunod. ayan nahuli tuloy na pati sila nahuhuling wala pang fixed itenerary para sa ipinasa nila. demit!
pasensiya na kung sunod-sunod ang aking comment. naalimpungatan ako ng alas dos ng madaling araw dito. akala ko maga na. hehehe
Hehehe..
Okay lang yan. O eto ang aprovel. Hihi.
Silver,
Wala ako stand dito (rally kontra con-ass). Masakit sa ulo. Tsaka ‘di naman ako bumoboto eh, sayang lang.
I like your term ‘bandwagon’. Madaming ganyan sa rally bukas.
“Wag sanang gawing springboard ng ilang foolitikos just to get media attention and magmukhang messiah cum foolitiko chorva sa mata ng mga tao.” — Silver, mismo!
Sama ko bente dyan, Yami.
Hahaha…
Ako, ayaw ko ng BANDWAGON. I still prefer our dear old Kalesa sa barrio. Hehehe.
I guess, all I really wanted to say was:
“Don’t make tulog! Let’s make baka!”
or
“Don’t make chorva! Let’s make baka!”
Ooops, anti-cow ba ako? hahaha!
Hahahha…
Anti-cow! Haha…
Baka habulin ka ng baka nyan! Hahah…
sabi ko nga sayo fwend, dadagsain to ng mga politiko pampapogi points..
Hehe..Leche nila! Hmpt!
basahin lang po mula sa taas. all i have to do is LOL! at WOW!
Ganoon ang nangyari sa lupang hinirang?
Duyan daw ng magigiting?
the most hilarious part ung ginawang karir ung concept ng people power. magkano ba, 5,000 per rally, free food and drinks? hahaha!
Yan ba ang Bayan kong Pilipinas.
Sad to know.
hay naku darbs,
sinabi mo pa. it is really sad to know.
maki-youtube nga.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGIRQtSQftM]
Oobra kaya. kung hindi sensya na po. pero i love the song too. sana mag-work.
hindi ata na install/turn on ang plug-in na pueding mag embed ng youtube video. but that’s the code.
you can say that.
but remember, libreng pagkain ang andoon sa rally.
per head ang bayaran. kung may sampung anak ka doon tig 5,000 each head. hahaha! pera na rin un.
what else?
expect na mabatuta ka!
expect sa bombang tubig galing pasig, pasalamat kayo at hindi galing sa seaweed ang tubig.
rubber bullet
tunay na punglo
or
DEATH!
fOR WHAT?
Rally against Con-Ass!
WHERE’S THE MONEY?
Devil thoughts:
hahakutin ko lahat kamag-anak ko sa baryo. Oh, wag ka nalang maingay na 5,000 per head ung bayad mo. ako na bahalang magbigay sa kanila. wink!
up to now, i still can’t believe me mga taong sumasama sa rally in exchange for money. hirap talaga ng buhay.
