July 9, 2005 on DLSU-M activity

Gabi na ng mareceive ko ang message na ito:

Due to tonight's event, Bro. Armin, SC, COSCA and

Political Science Dept. initiated the call to have an

immediate plan of action for tomorrow, July 9, 2005.

We ask you to ask as much people to go in our campus

and discuss with the Lasallian community this critical

stage we are facing right now.

--> Mga 5:30 kahapon nakareceive ako ng message from Ross: All pro-constitution go to amphi. SC president Armi Padilla is there..

Apparently points were heard to constitute such an action..

So upon receipt of the message na excite ako.. Yes my first rally.. After reading it again.. hindi naman pala rally kundi may pagkapolitical statement…. Sali ba ako, hmmm…

I have a long list of to-do’s and I really need rest…

Saturday, AM

Pupunta ako nakapagdesisyon na ako.. 8AM, naghanda at umalis.. dumating sa school ng mga 9:20 as decided.. Asan ba ako pupunta? Kain muna ako sa Aristo.. Sa Amphi siguro yon.. Onti lang ang tao.. Hmmmpp.. Wala pa rin yung mga SC people.. May nakita akong mga D.O. at nandun ang ilang CCS people nagsusulat ng “Call for Moral Ascendancy” Tagal naman magumpisa… Inintay ko hanggang 9:10 AM.. I can’t waste my time like this.. as scheduled dapat nagistart na ng 9AM.. pero hindi pa.. I’d decided to leave..

Was it a waste of time?

In a way, YES. I should had followed my gut.. Wag na lang pumunta…

NO, at least I know I care.. I just care more about my future, my priorities..

I wanna be part of a change within our country but I don’t want to lead it..

My advocacy is not political stability but I could help in achieving it.
