IHT on Gloria's ban on demonstrations

And two powerful Religious groups say: Get your act together, the economy is tanking...LINK

The Manila bulletin reported that although Manila bans demonstrations, that in nearby Makati, the police are actually helpful to those wanting to demonstrate.....

And there is a real danger that terrorists (either Alquada or the local NPA) will infiltrate the demonstrations and make them violent...so when these farmers held a demonstration, they detected and removed these infiltrators LINK

As for us, aside from an ElShaddai rally, the town is busy getting in the rice harvest....you can barely drive or park, because people dry the rice on the concrete....(I'll try to post a photo later)...the bad news is that our gormet rice had a lousy yield due to weeds...oh well...
