Martsa sa Luneta

It is now 06:00 in Manila. It is drizzling quite a bit and people are starting to converge at the Freedom Park, Luneta. We are hoping that it will not rain hard as people claim it is God's will to let us know that we are not doing the right thing. The Park is slowly getting filled with people and the police force have closed the streets going to Luneta.

Strange that I see different placards with different agendas. We are discussing now what this exercise is all about. As far as my group is concerned, it will be an expression of disgust over the misuse of public funds and we are calling for the end to corruption and hope for a nation with a clear national  direction.

We have been approached by several groups when they saw that we are one of the largest contingents but we politely turned them down saying we do not belong to a particular group and we do not subscribe to a particular agenda. We are just ordinary citizens calling this government for change and it is about time to get rid of corruption. 

Have to go to take care of our senior citizens. I will be right back to update you later.
