Youth, students outraged over Con-Ass
GMA behind ‘Con-Ass scandal’ – Kabataan Party-list
Kabataan Party-list Rep. Mong Palatino today said to expect widespread youth and student outrage over the railroading of Con-Ass in Congress last night.
Supporters of Kabataan Party-list and youth and student groups led by Anakbayan, League of Filipino Students, College Editors Guild of the Philippines, Student Christian Movement and the National Union of Students of the Philippines stormed Mendiola today to condemn Malacanang’s hand in the rash passage of House Resolution No. 1109 Tuesday evening
“What happened yesterday was a scandal of the sickest and most perverse degree. Only a veteran in political scandals like President Arroyo can stage such a costly production. Only Malacanang has the machinery and resources to put up a show like that,” Palatino said.
Palatino added, “Dozens of administration lawmakers may have flocked to support the Con-Ass resolution in Congress but it’s a flop everywhere else. Filipinos, especially the youth, simply abhor it.”
The young lawmaker said today’s protest actions are just the start of a series of anti-Cha-Cha demonstrations in schools, communities and even in cyber space.
"We will not allow this government and its lapdogs in Congress to compromise the youth and the nation's future for selfish political ends. The railroading of the Con-Ass resolution only shows the real intentions of those who are pushing for it. These critical times warrant our defiance and collective action against abusive and greedy power wielders,” Palatino said.
“It is the responsibility of every patriotic and freedom-loving young Filipino to oppose the proposed Cha-cha. Our nation's future depends on us.” #

Let us stop the madness of these administration lawmakers and lapdogs. They are driven by their personal ambitions and interests, with our country's future at stake. Let them feel the power of the Filipino people which toppled a dictatorship in 1986, if they need to. Speak, walk, rally, write, pray against Con-Ass!!!
STOP CHA-CHA!!!
OUST GLORIA!!!
