STUDENTS and young professionals led by the Movement of the Youth for Empowerment, Reform, Advocacy and Progress (myERAP), a group aligned with President Joseph Estrada, yesterday served a symbolic “notice of eviction” to President Arroyo near Malaca?ang.

“From 2001 to 2010, Arroyo would be the second longest serving president next only to the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Arroyo however leaves Marcos in the dust in terms of corruption and violation of human rights,”,Marc Jacobs Handbags; said Ginno Jaralve, spokesman for myERAP.

“Today, we start the year-long wait for Arroyo to finish her term with a fervent prayer that Arroyo and her cronies turn away from their wickedness and greed for power and step down next year,” said Goodbye Gloria campaign spokesman Lloyd Zaragoza.

Anti-riot policemen and members of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) were able to turn away the group at the J.P. Rizal gate in San Miguel street.

MyErap also launched an online countdown to June 30, 2010 at goodbyegloria.com.

It said the online countdown also details the scandals, exposes, and significant dates detailing instances of the Arroyo administration’s legacy of plain bad governance.

More than 5,000 students and young professionals joined militant groups Anakpawis, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN), Gabriela and Bayan Muna yesterday in marching to Liwasang Bonifacio for the “Martsa Laban sa Cha-Cha”.

The march aims to send a message that the public will oppose moves to tinker with the Constitution to enable President Arroyo to remain in power beyond 2010.

The students were from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Adamson’s University, University of the Philippines-Manila and Diliman, De La Salle University, College of St. Benilde, St. Scholastica’s College, Jose Rizal University and Arellano University.

Three columns assembled at the Mabuhay Rotonda, Taft Avenue and Intramuros converged at the Liwasang Bonifacio at around 6 p.m.

Organizers have said that “Martsa Kontra Cha-cha,” kicks off a month-long protest leading up to the State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Arroyo on July 27.

The protesters carried placards that read,hermes belts, “Oust the corrupt Arroyo regime,” “No to Gloria forever rule,” and “Junk Cha-cha now.”

Marchers also brought whistles and noisemakers, for use in the noise barrage.

The program at the Liwasang Bonifacio consisted of nationalist songs.

Violinist Coke Bolipata played Nicanor Abelardo’s Mutya ng Pasig, while activists from Bayan, Karapatan, the Concerned Artists of the Philippines, and the UP Alay Sining sang Joey Ayala’s “Wala nang Tao sa Sta. Filomena.”

Among the personalities were Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, NBN-ZTE whistle-blower Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada, Sister Mary John Mananzan of the Association of Major Religious Sectors of the Philippines, movie director Carlitos Siguion-Reyna and wife Bibeth Orteza, Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casi?o, Anakpawis Rep. Rafael Mariano, and Kabataan Rep. Raymond Palatino.

Lim led Manila City Hall employes in a march towards Liwasang Bonifacio.

Zuma being elected as president of the ANC has re-affirmed my beliefs that the people in this country do not think but are rather just swayed by emotion.

Any thinking person would see how ludicrous it is to have that man as a leader and quite possibly the next president of South Africa!

Zuma has been mired in the controversy of corruption charges which are still not resolved,Wholesale replica handbags, been accused of rape in which he was later acquitted and stood there in court telling us all that to combat HIV, all you need is to take a hot shower!

Fine, the people of the ANC do not like Mbeki and his policies. In fact many non-ANC South Africans dislike his policies too. But there is no need to go rushing after this dodgy Zuma when there are much better candidates.

Cyril Ramaphosa or Tokyo Sexwale would have been my first choices. There is no scandal attached to their names,Louis Vuitton Belts, they have both made a huge success of themselves in the marketplace and would probably make South Africa a more prosperous place. But enough about them.

Zuma will not only be bad for South Africa with his reliance on the support of the Trade Unions and the left wing,Replica Watches, but also because he is a joke in the international community. In order to improve life in South Africa we have to rely on foreign investments and good foreign relations. Under Zuma I don’t think this will take place.

When are the grassroots people going to wake up and see these leaders for the kind of people they are: opportunistic,Marc Jacobs replica Handbags, corrupt and self-centred.

What will happen if Zuma is indeed charged and jailed? What will the “groundroots” people do then?

I am not optimistic about the future of our country.
