Curtailing freedom of speech and even thinking of shutting down media outlets is damn fucking outrageous! Arroyo declared state of national emergency and with that comes powers that could put people in jail. The news media, television stations and other entities were warned by NTC(telecommunications body here).
National Telecommunications Commissioner Ronald Solis also warned media Friday not to broadcast calls for the forceful removal of Arroyo, urging television and radio networks to "cooperate" with the government for the duration of the state of national emergency. Solis asked for "balanced reporting" from broadcasters when covering events surrounding the alleged coup attempt foiled by the government on Friday morning.
Fuck. If you shut down media outlets..you are creating an even more fear and panic! People Power is being commemorated by thousands of Filipinos today and it's one of the reason why we have democracy right now!
Freedom to speak out and be heard should never ever be prevented! Does she even understand the word democracy and what it means! Goodness! Let the people know what the fuck is really going on! That there is (was) a revolt against her but it sorta of fizzled out cos some of the men in unform became wimps..I guess). It's gonna be her downfall if she shuts down media!
President Arroyo was lucky today for the coup and the revolt didn'tmaterialize. Pres. Arroyo is hanging by thread..again. Up to when can she hold on to the ropes of power? Only the "plotters" know.

Since I wasn't able to blog yesterday and dx still dead site...
Friday morning. Had breakfast outside then went to the booktsore and came back here. Watched most of whats going on via the telly. I kinda grew tired of it. So while people were out marching/protesting/rallying/ commemorating people power anniversary, I went Cubao. No I did not watch WWE silly gross action slam bang. Went to Gateway instead and watched Final Destination at the Cineplex. The movie was entertaningly suspensefully funny( shrugs.. most people inside the theater were laughing...er, "gaysters."). Wanna see it again. Hehe.
