Liberal Party standard bearer, Senator Noynoy Aquino, along with Senator Mar Roxas and their senatorial slate will gather later today at the Araneta Coliseum from 2pm to 7pm to commemorate the 24th Anniversary of EDSA People Power.
Thousands of supporters are estimated to gather for the celebration to commemorate EDSA 1. As celebrities are set to perform as well, as they gather to mostly celebrate EDSA and get out support for their campaign as well. Other celebrations will be held across the nation to commemorate this 24th anniversary.
The Noynoy campaign has set the celebration for EDSA 1 later as “Let’s P.A.Y” meaning “Let’s Paint Araneta Yellow” eluding to the color of choice for the People power movement’s yellow ribbons.

classic exploitation of sacred national historical event for cheap political brownie points. so infuriating if it’s not so ridiculous
I guess it must also infuriate u that Noy/Mar supporters work for free, while your candidate has to pay everyone to join him. P30m here, and P30 there, from what I hear. It’s fine while the coffers r full, but eventually u people will run out of bribe money. Then everyone will walk away… U can keep buying people forever.
laila, fyi, i support manny villar and do a bit of campaigning for him. i don’t get paid a single centavo for it. i’m sure there are millions out there just like me.
