After a very long night, still sleep deprived and almost senseless, I got up this morning and found my self working hard to battle the people who are strangling motorcycles...
Needless to say, I have decided to forgive all those who have sent hurtful messages my way... I have decided to do what I have started... I have decided that I cannot leave the people, no matter how many or how small they are... If they need me, I will be there...
This thread has given me the moral boost I needed from the longest night of my life... Thank you guys! Thank you from the bottom of my heart...
With that said, I would like to correct my self from what I have been saying lately... MRO is not a one man show... The things I do, I do because of the support given and received... MRO is not just me... It is you, them, the cagers, bus drivers, jeepney drivers, pedestrians and anybody who uses the road... They are all part of MRO... We do this because we fight for equality... Equality that everybody should attain and enjoy... Equality that our constitution has guaranteed each and every Filipino...
Today, I have gone through hell and heaven...
I started the day picking up the clothes from outside the house (the commander got mad last night and almost threw me out of the house :O) and taking the family to a hearty Sisig and Sizzling tuna belly lunch at Parilla (bati na kami ulet). As we were eating, GMA7 called and invited me to do an interview for Reporters Notebook. I obliged and set off to meet with them after lunch.
The interview was not to long nor too short, but I was able to say what I wanted to say about prejudice, unfair profiling, putting the burden on the end user for the enforcement's accountability and how riders are being discriminated... I was fairly satisfied, but I will hold my breath until it comes out.
Anyway, before the interview started, the much awaited call came... What I... Let me rephrase that... What we have been waiting for is done...
So right after a few outside shots of me riding my scooter, I waved the camera crew goodbye and set off to meet with another group that holds the holy grail of our cause...
I do not need to expound on what it is... I will just let the image do the talking...
Care to ride with me on Monday to deliver this to the Quezon City Hall of Justice?
Let's talk about this on tomorrow's meeting...
MRO MEETING re: MC LANE
Date: October 22, 2011

EVERYBODY IS INVITED. AND I MEAN EVERYBODY. EVEN THE ONES SAYING STUFF ABOUT ME.
Bring tissue because I may breakdown again like what happened in the speech I gave during the Freedom Park motorcade... :nuts:
Again, thank you for all the support and see you tomorrow!
