Time for the 21st Century in the Philippines ?

Dear oh dear. A year in jail. :NoNo:

No wonder the Philippines is being held back, and millions still in poverty.

:gp: ... can't say I'm surprised at the boost this man's popularity has had as a result of his petty "offence". :NoNo:

Good on him! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

This is a terrible decision and shows the Philippines in a very bad light. :NoNo:

The reaction from Filipinos on Twitter appears to be that of embarrassment! :doh

Nothing petty about walking into the countries most powerful house with a full congregation including Mayor Lim with a protest banner and expect any other conclusion IMO!!
He knew what he was walking into and the he knew the consequences..
He is also protesting about a condo building that is planned to be built just behind the Rizal monument..
I admire the guy..Its because of people like him and his Hero Rizal that some things may someday change..In my life time? I doubt it!:icon_lol:
I suppose things have changed to some extent as at least he wasnt taken to the back of the courthouse ,tied to a post and shot... Right?

He certainly has a set. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
