By 1:30pm, a huge build up of rally participants numbering around 10,000 at Tandang Sora were converging and a program was held anticipating their march by past 2pm. The march was a colorful display of effigy depicting Gloria as the vulture and “medusa” marking the 9 years of the GMA administration.
In a related development, Mr. Leody De Guzman, BMP President said “Only fools will believe that the GMA administration is telling the truth because the past SONA’s are full of make believes and half truths and this time the last SONA is perfectly 99% lie and 1% truth. What is more lamentable is that the one percent is her earnest desire to stay in power whether it be through Con-Ass or any form that would be possible for the administration.”
Upon reaching the nearest point of their march along Commonwealth near St. Peter’s at around past 3pm, the group launched a formal program in time with GMA’s SONA. The program highlighted the burning of the vulture and “medusa” to which the group attributed these as a fitting symbol of ending the elite and trapo rule in the country.
