The first anti-Con Ass rally

Posted on June 11, 2009 by danabatnag

Protesters raise their fists, a symbol of defiance, as the singing of Bayan Ko ends the rally.

“No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression or of the press,or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.” – Article 3, section 4 of the 1987 Constitution.

On June 10, 2009, Filipinos — mostly from Metro Manila; the other provinces had their own rallies — came by the thousands to once again “petition the government for redress of grievances.”

The approval of House Resolution 1109 brought them together, but the grievances are mostly old, issues and crimes that have remained unaddressed.
One example is that of Remmie May, 5, who lost her father when she was two. The family blames the military and the Arroyo government.
Remmie May, 5, lost her father when she was two. She also lost her home: fearing for their safety, the family had to relocate.

Con-Ass is more dangerous than A(H1N1).
Once again, confetti rains in Ayala.
There are more ways than one to participate in a rally.
Rallyists stomp on the faces of congressmen who passed HR 1109.
The rally lasted up to 8 p.m, and then the demonstrators peacefully dispersed.
