‘Yellow Party’ set on Noynoy’s b-day
Negrense Friends of Noy and Mar will mark the birthday of Liberal Party standard bearer Noynoy Aquino on Monday by tying yellow ribbons around Bacolod City.
“Together, let us paint history yellow: On Feb 8, 2010, the birthday of Noynoy Aquino, and a day before the official campaign period for the 2010 elections start, we begin to take history in our hands and tie it with the yellow ribbon of courage and the courage of our heroes,” a message sent out by the group said yesterday.
At 5 p.m. on Monday a “yellow party” will be held at the The Heroes HQ at the Lopue’s Annex Building in Mandalagan, Bacolod City, for a yellow party to celebrate Noynoy’s birthday where a Yellow Bazaar, a Yellow Food Fair, and a Yellow Bar will be held, the organizers said.
“Wear your courage: wear or hold or use anything yellow. Let’s party all night. History awaits us the day after,” the invitation said.*
"I am determined to continue the fight started by my father and my mother to see
that democracy takes root and is strengthened in our country. This cannot happen
in a government that serves the interest of the powerful few. We must strengthen
the institutions of government so that they truly serve the interests of our people."

Form over Subtance please. We all like these yellow celebrations and festivities….but the crux of this campaign is to address the problems and ills of Philippine society… We should be talking and meeting and conversing on how we could address this as a community under the Aquino campaign….

@Jet, ikaw ang walang substance, bakit gusto mo ang Form over Substance. Ang kandidato namin, hindi lang masustansiya may porma pa. Matagal na naming alam kung papaano GAGAWIN ni Noynoy ang lahat ng pagbabagong hinahangad namin para ka ikauunlad ng bayan at mamamayang Pinoy dahil TUTULUNGAN NAMIN SIYA!

Engr. Jojo, I like it when you say “Tutulungan namin siya”…it evokes volunteerism which is a key ingredient in successful democracies. But the question is how and what about? Tutulungan in what sense, kasi ako gusto ko ring tumulong, pero ano ang hinihinging tulong at paano ko ibibigay bilang isang mamamayan? Gusto kong tumulong iangat ang kondisyon ng mga mahihirap…paano ako makakatulong? Gusto kong maging balanse ang economic level playing field (hindi lang nang mga oligopoliang nakapaligid kay Noynoy – Ayala/Lopez), ano ang tulong na kaya kong ibigay bilang isang taga-suporta. Those are the specifics that are missing in this campaign.

@Jet Pampolina Hi. Nadali mo ang mga dapat nating pagtuunan ng pansin. At given na bumababa ang ratings ni Noynoy, obvious na hindi na raramdaman ng tao ang pagka-bias ni Noynoy sa mga mahihirap. He has to be more radical. And he must know that RIGHT NOW. Given ang mga tao na nakapaligid sa kanya ngayon, apparently, hindi nakakarating ang mensahe ni Noynoy sa mga Class E and D. Kaya bilang suporter, it’s not only our duty to actively campaign for him, but to add a little pressure sa kanya and to criticize him positively kung merong mali o kulang sa kanyang plataporma. Diyan pumapasok ang people power. Hindi lang na-rerealize ng mga tao ang kapangyarihang ito. PEOPLE POWER. KAPANGYARIHANG BAYAN. Katulad na lang na kailangan pa ng mas kaunting depth sa platform ni Noynoy on the agrarian reform and agriculture. Kung nalalaman natin na may pagkukulang, let’s discuss it among ourselves and make a statement to Senator Noy nudging him in the right direction. We can be active in the sense na we are trying to be heard and na-eemphasize ang ating hinaing. There’s still 3 months left. Marami pa tayong magagawa. I encourage all of you to internalize on what your sector really needs and forward it to the camp of Senator Noy, para mapakinggan naman niya ang mga hinaing natin.

@Regina you are so right. Ang mga lumabas nung libing ni Cory ay hindi talaga yung ABC crowd pero yung mga sobrang mahihirap na kababayan natin na naghahangad ng tunay na pagbabago…pero tingnan mo ngayon kung sino ang nagpapatakbo nang kampanya (old rich wanting status quo)…. The Aquino campaign should harness the real engine of this campaign which is the poor and the working class, pero hindi mo sila maipapatakbo kung empty ang kampanya… an anti-corruption campaign is a good start but it needs more follow-through in specifics and substance….. His calling (after seeing the Cory burial march) is one of real, radical and substantive change and he is far from making it happen.

@Jet Exactly. The latest survey is a slap to us in the campaign that we need to be more radical. Actually, maganda talaga ang platform ni SBSAIII on education pero puro iyon na lang kasi ang nadidinig natin sa kanya. Maganda rin ang kanyang platform on the economy and sa pag-lift ng economic status pero as I’ve said, hindi siya nagegets ng tao. At isa pang dahilan kung bakit bumababa pa ang ratings ni Noynoy is that hindi siya ‘nagdedeliver’. The voters would rather choose Villar who is undoubtedly corrupt but delivered something, than Noynoy who is clean but delivered nothing. Isa pa, hindi din nagegets ng mga tao ang Social Contract niya. At isa pa, binili na ni Villar ang lahat ng primetime slots sa TV sa buong campaign period.
