Bagong Pilipinas rally, hindi gagamitin para isulong ang Chacha -PCO

PINABULAANAN ng mga opisyal ng Presidential Communications Office (PCO) na hindi gagamitin ang Bagong Pilipinas campaign kickoff rally, bukas, Enero 28 para itulak ang Charter change (Cha-cha).

“Definitely not. This is an activity by the Executive Department for the covenant of Bagong Pilipinas. This is the Executive Department’s way of showing its commitment that it will do its job… There are no other reasons,” ayon kay PCO Undersecretary Gerard Baria.

Sinabi naman ni PCO Director Cris Villonco na “as part of the event and the one overseeing the event, I can assure that is not the case.“

“We are talking about empowering the Filipino at its very core,” dagdag na wika ni Villonco.

Nauna rito, ipinahayag kasi ni Bayan Muna chairman Neri Colmenares na ang Bangon Pilipinas rally ay pronta lamang para itulak ang Charter change.

Ang buwelta naman Baria, ang mga salungat na pahayag at paniniwala ng iilan ukol sa tunay na nilalayon ng rally ay para guluhin ang mga ideya.

Tinuran pa ni Colmemares na ang nasabing event ay pag-aaksaya lamang ng pondo ng publiko.

Bilang pagdepensa sa kickoff rally, sinabi ni Baria na ang kahalagahan ng Bagong Pilipinas ay marapat lamang na ilathala.

“An idea as big as this deserves an event as big as this,” anito.

Idinagdag naman ni Villonco na “we need to make this big, we need to make this loud… we need to spread as fast as possible because we deserve this, we need this and we need everybody’s help.”

Higit 200,000 attendees ang nakiisa sa event. (Daris Jose)
