Live Life! Love Life!

I came to learn about this issue of Gary Granada vs GMA Kapuso Foundation and Procter and Gamble at plurk. Well most plurkers are bloggers themselves and most of plurkers are very progressive and enlightened on social, political and other issues, showbiz included. Gary Granada is one of the best loved composers and singers among social development/NGO workers, activists and those who appreciate real good music. Winner of several pop music fests and very talented jingle composer. A fan of the famed PBA basketball team Ginebra and popularized the word Barangay Ginebra among its loyal fans. Now Barangay Ginebra seems to be taking a new form 0n-line especially among bloggers supporting the cause and issue of Gary "hindi nila magagawa iyon (Tripid Handog Edukasyon jingle) kung hindi nila sinamantala ang study na ginawa ko"...

I came across this page today. It was seven long years since that fateful victory of the people was made into mockery by GMA. The mistake was - she was the constitutional and legal successor! I hope another lesson learned. But today the people have enough of People Power, but still, hopeful, that there will be changed a real revolution to happen. I was there during the first days, going to EDSA excitedly while sending text messages along the way. We distributed food to those who stayed overnight, performed in the morning to do some exercise and awaken the people to continue keeping guard of the place. We were the secretariat assisting the command until the place was taken over by showbiz and political celebrities. This year I have forgotten about it, I have forgotten that we put a person unworthy of People Power. But I will always remember that I will always be a part of the Filipino People clamoring for change!
