    Time for the 21st Century in the Philippines ?

    Dear oh dear. A year in jail.

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

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

    Good on him!

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

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

    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!
    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?
