they succeeded in stopping the armed forces but they may not stop the people.

if push comes to shove, i shall head on over to wherever the action is and scream my guts out. and tomorrow's front page shall bear my face among the crowd, as tradition in this family.

[kuwento ko lang, ang cute kaseeeh: my grandparents, mom side, was in visayas then, since my grandfather was a mining engineer. daddy poop being a ladies man (hahaha), my grandmother, mommy lily, accompanied him there. and so, while the country underwent a revolution and something powerful was happening in EDSA, the grandparents called home, to paranaque, to ask daddy poop's brother, tito dodo, to reign in the daughters. my mom is the third sa four belen girls. and so tito dodo told my grandparents to not worry. then, he went out of the house to start the car, and called out to the sisters, two of which were in up, one in la salle. (the youngest was still in high school, st. rita, methinks.) the next day, when marcos had been driven out of the palace, tito dodo's face was plastered in the front page. cool.

tito dodo is a freaking rich bastard by now. wala lang. he's just so... aloof right now. hai. i can't imagine him in any rally. or ina sweaty crowd. it just goes to show what oppression can make you feel and do.]

fucking hell, wwe better not be cancelled.

2:00-ish -- prof. randy david's camp, atty. argee guevarra. "we are not being arrested. babalik kami sa hanay namin."

prof. david: "i just want to know if you're arresting us."

police person not in uniform: "yes, you are being arrested." tang'na mo, wag mo kong iinglesin.

"on what basis?"

"under gma's proclamation 1017."

the way prof. david kept his head up (literally) and unbending and unyeilding even when some policeman's hands reached up and tried to push it down so he could enter the car. what a proud, proud man. i have nothing but admiration for him. go, prof.

he shook hands with a freaking general and negotiated, talked nice and polite, even. stop the dispersal, he said. the people are not armed. they might get hurt. and then general got a phone call.

"i consider it an act of treachery... i thought i knew general rodovan. i thought that... a certain level of decency can still be found in the armed forces."

prof. david: thoroughly unconstitutional, that proclamation.

"delikado. maraming estudyante."

teka, what the hell am i doing here?

because im scared.

<<-->>

sen. biazon: the president does not have the right to do something as unconstitutional as a warrantless arrest. the police can't invoke the proclamation 1017. this does not, in any way, provide the president special powers.

okay.

what is prof. david being arrested for, the senator asks. laughing.

<<-->>

the entire presidential family is in malacanang. i wonder what the president must be thinking now.

<<-->>

a man is being beaten. he is smiling.
