Aklanons Call All Filipinos To Stand Up For Truth

A group of Aklanons had organized themselves into “Aklanon’s Movement For Truth and Accountability. They are calling all Aklanons to UNITE and JOIN hands and be a part of a noble cause to effect social change. The members and officers are urging everybody to act now against the morally bankrupt government. They are urging everybody to act now for truth, accountability and meaningful change, “so our next generation will have a humane, just and a better place to live in”.
The group is headed by Ms. Erlinda “Tita Linda” Belayro as chairman/convenor. Tita Linda is a three termer Kalibo Sangguniang Bayan member.
In their prayer rally held in Pastrana Park, Kalibo, Aklan in the late afternoon, Friday, March 14, the Aklanon Movement condemned the following acts:
1. The cover–up and the past and current whitewashes of evidences which implicate Ms. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her husband, Miguel Arroyo along with Malacañang minions in numerous deals that involved bribery and corruption;
2. The gross and systematic plunder of the Philippines’ coffers and resources for the benefits of limited influential government officials and cronies resulting to grave poverty and social injustices among Filipinos;
3. The Arroyo administration’s shameless disregard of the intensity and effects of NBN scam, North Rail Transit and South Rail Transit questionable transactions, the Spratly Issue, the Fertilizer scandal and election cheatings among others;, and
4. The blatant and unabashed misuse against the people of the government machineries and government agencies like the GSIS, Dept. of Justice, Philippines National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The Aklanon Convenors group ended their prayer/rally with candle lighting ceremonies and went on a procession around Pastrana Park to show to the people their disgust against the abuses of the present Malacañang occupants, as well as to pray that Malacañang occupants will be enlightened and that they stop now graft and corruption. /MP
