PasigLaban

Last Sunday was just a last minute decision to go to PasigLaban not knowing how am I gonna go home because I have work on Monday. Yes. My second rally after the Bulacan rally last March 5, 2022.

I left home around lunch. Took the P2P bus from Pandi, Bulacan to TriNoma. Then MRT to Ortigas Station. Got to the venue at 1:55 PM.

I know I have a lot of moots online that will also attend the rally and we all said “See ya!” Haha! I just followed the crowd upon entering Emerald Avenue. Compared to the Bulacan rally this was a bit siksikan so you will really feel the heat. Since I was rushing to go to the rally I forgot to bring bite snacks and water. My bad.

So the rally was uploaded on VP Leni’s People’s Council YouTube channel. You can watch the rally below!

Thank you to Gio Tantoco for taking this beautiful aerial photo of the rally where I can point where I am situated in the rally for 8 hours! Haha!

I’m so happy to be one of the 137,000 Kakampinks who made another milestone! And speaking of milestone, it’s been a very long time since I jumped with a huge crowd and I am talking about the Filipino drag performance of Minty Fresh of Ariana Grande’s Break Free! Ariana reposted two videos on her Instagram stories of us singing in the rally and now it became news on Billboard. Insane!

The senatorial candidates did talk that night and I might say, Leila de Lima’s turn really burned our hearts with desire to be really hungry for justice. First time to listen and I really felt the rush.

This time I took photo of our next president but through an LED screen. Last rally in Bulacan I have no photos of her on my camera. So I guess it’s my mission to really capture her really close! Let’s say soon in her rally in Pampanga? Hahaha!

The finale performance was Ben&Ben! My first to listen to them live and I love their recent album, Pebble House, Vol. 1: Kuwaderno and I am so happy that they performed one of the tracks, Kapangyarihan. A really powerful song:

Akala niyo ba ang kapangyarihan ay nasa inyo sino ba kayo? Magwawagi ang katotohanan ang kadiliman ay ibabagsak. Nagsisilbi ka dapat nagsisilbi ka dapat.

I was able to go home and did not spend a night in a hotel because I made it to the last trips of the MRT and P2P bus (but until Sta. Maria, Bulacan only). I took a tricyle from Sta. Maria to our house! From 10PM to 11:32PM. Not bad! Cheaper if I checked in in a hotel or even a motel.

I will never forget that I went to PasigLaban. A history was indeed made and VP Leni was right when she realized what momentous event that happened. It is not just rallies anymore. It is now a crusade. Emerald Avenue will never be the same and years from now, I am proud to say, “Yes. I was there.”

I will never forget this day. my very first political rally tapos isa pa sa mga nagbreak ng record sa Olympinks!

Sobrang sarap sa puso sumigaw ng pagsuporta kay Leni at Kiko kasama yung ibang mga kakampinks. Hanggang ngayon, kinikilabutan pa din ako.
