Let justice be the tie that binds us as a nation: No to a Hero’s Burial for Marcos!
CEAP Statement on House Resolution 1135

Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent- the LORD detests them both. Proverbs 17:15

Dear Young Public Servants,

We encourage everyone to take part in remembering EDSA People Power Revolution of 1986 by participating, covering and sharing with your friends and family in any of the following activities:

We, in Young Public Servants, a group of young professionals, students and advocates, are deeply bothered by the assessment of the Supreme Court that malicious intent is necessary to prove plagiarism and make a plagiarist liable. This sets a bad precedent and cultivates a mindset contrary to good citizenship.

“This is about being young Filipinos who stand for peace and reform”

In the light of the House of Representatives’ unanimous adoption of a resolution calling for the resignation of presidential peace process adviser Teresita ‘Ging’ Quintos-Deles, we, the undersigned, young public servants, young members of communities, young professionals, students and advocates, convey our full support for Secretary Deles and confidence in her professional integrity, competence and commitment to the peace process.

This is the clever—and appropriate—moniker conceived by Jim Paredes for today’s nationwide protests. It encapsulates the combination of taking a stand, expressing indignation, and manifesting the spirit of national solidarity of a citizenry that knows full well a ruling party can never be The People.

Rain or shine, our protest against ConAss is on tomorrow!  Let's meet in front of Greenbelt 5, Legaspi Street, Legaspi Village, between 4-4:30pm.  We march to Ayala Avenue at 4:45pm.  Please wear black and bring whistles, horns, clappers, pots and pans to make noise loud enough to rattle windows!

STOP Con Ass!  STOP Cha Cha!  TINDIGNATION! Now na!

Under the cover of darkness and deceit, Congress recently passed House Resolution 1109. This highly controversial resolution empowers Congress to convene itself into a Con-ass with members of the House and the Senate voting jointly—not separately as provided for in the 1987 Constitution that the legislators, allied with illegal President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, want to change. With this move, Arroyo and her allies are positioning themselves for a permanent power grab, a de facto dictatorship, all in the guise of law and order.

My Bulletin column this week provides more perspective on the YPS event

Young Public Servants (YPS) is a group of young, dynamic individuals who believe that good citizenship doesn't happen overnight, but is a gradual process that requires each young Filipino to step up and take the lead. Good governance and democratic citizenship are critical elements in nurturing a generation of focused and dedicated leaders.
