Paul, Ann, and I (representing also Michelle and Jeanne) joined the Million People March at Rizal Park yesterday. It was a good rally. Despite no single group claiming ownership of the event, it turned out to be well organized. It was not really a rally in the traditional sense. There were political groups in certain allocated areas but generally it’s was apolitical and more a gathering of people with a common goal: the abolition of the pork barrel and the way is is used stolen. not just the PDAF. The atmosphere was relaxed, even festive. There was no fear of a dispersal. Which is good. It means there’s progress in our fledgling (still, after all these years) democracy. Even the weather was kind. There was some rain early on but it quickly stopped while the clouds stayed around providing a cool shade for everyone.
