I’m lifting this from Bloggers’ Kapihan. It’s about the launching of Jun Lozada’s and Gov. Ed Panlilio’s blogs in the coming weekends:

Malugod kayong inaanyayahan ng Bloggers’ Kapihan sa magkasunod na blog launches sa dalawang susunod na Sabado. Sasamahan ng BK Crew sa paglulunsad ng kanilang blog sina Jun Lozada – ang pangunahing saksi sa pagdinig ng Senado sa ZTE deal — at si Among Ed Panlilio — ang gobernador ng Pampanga na iniluklok ng “people power” noong nakaraang halalan.

Samahan ninyo kami sa Sabado, May 31, 2008, 1pm sa Kape Tasyo sa Anonas, Quezon City sa blog launch ni Jun Lozada.

Sa Hunyo 7 naman, 30 bloggers ang dadalhin ng Bloggers’ Kapihan sa Among Ed blog launch. May libreng sakay, pagkain at pamamasyal sa Pampanga para sa mga sasama.

March 14, 2008. Thousands of students from different universities in Metro Manila marched to Liwasang Bonifacio to continue the clamor for truth and accountability from the scandal-ridden Arroyo administration.

It was the Friday before Holy Week, many students were busy with exams and other final academic requirements for the semester. Despite the academic load and pressure on that day, around a hundred students and teachers from UP Diliman joined the youth rally at Liwasang Bonifacio.

A short program was held at the steps of Palma Hall before we all boarded hired jeepneys to Espana Avenue in Manila, from where we marched all the way through Quiapo until we crossed the Pasig River to Liwasang Bonifacio.

This was half the crowd in last Friday’s anti-Arroyo protest rally in light of the Senate investigations regarding Jun Lozada’s expose on the National Broadband Network scandal that involves the President, her family, and certain government officials.

Tens of thousands of people converged at the intersection of Paseo de Roxas and Ayala Avenue to express their outrage and disgust at the President and her administration. [Photo above from John Avellana].
