Changing Winds; Changing Views

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who

That it's namin'

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin'.

UGAT - Taking Roots; Breaking Grounds

UGAT was formed by various online groups

Below is the official statement of UGAT (Unified Groups for the Advancement fof Truth) on the Corona impeachment.

UGAT is composed of Netizens from various Facebook groups and online communities and forums.

Many of UGAT's members are veterans of the cyber rally that was launched late last year on the occasion of Noynoy Aquino's online interview. On that day they "occupied" various Facebook pages including Aquino's official page. Last Friday, many of the went out of their comfort zone to personally express their support for Chief Justice Corona.

Weather-Weather Lang Yan

Sendong dumped 50 mm/hr of rainfall 

Makes me wonder what kind of preparation the government did on Sendong. As early as Monday last week regional directors of OCD from Regions VI to XII were sent back to their respective offices. They were not able to attend the agency's Xmas party last Friday so they can have time to prepare for Sendong. The amount of destruction and number of lives lost speak of an inferior disaster response management system.

One of the things that can get into Noynoy Aquino's nerve is critique of his zero-casualty disaster management program, if there is even one.

First Cyber Rally Against Noynoy Aquino

Earlier today hundreds of Netizens participated in the first ever cyber rally against Noynoy Aquino. The cyber rally coincided with Aquino's live online interview that was arranged by Youtube in cooperation with local media outfit ANC.,

Particpants in the cyber rally "occupied" official pages of Noynoy Aquino and ANC 24/7 posted non-stop reacting and commenting on Aquino's answers in the interview. Some pro-Aquino Facebook users tried to answered back but the number of the cyber rallyists simply overwhelmed them.

Among the issues that were brought up by the cyber rallyists are justice for soldiers that were killed in Al-Barka, agrarian reform and distribution of Hacienda Luisita to farmers, massacres under the two Aquino regimes, deterioration of peace and order and rising poverty.
