bakit ba ganito tayo? ang pamahalaan natin binababoy ang mga ideals/virtues natin tulad ng "bayanihan," "laya"--the tuta.de.kalbong.agila's euphemism for patayin ang mga progresibo. sana bumangon lahat ng mga tunay na bayani at papanagutin/ubusin kayong lahat diyan!

"Meanwhile, XL Fuentes, spokesman of Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan)-Southern Tagalog, said “Aquino’s Oplan Bayanihan is no different from Arroyo’s Oplan Bantay Laya.”

"“The Castillo brothers are victims of political repression of the two administrations. Killings and detention and other forms of state violence are the means used by the present administration to silence progressive individuals critical of government policies,” Fuentes said."
