Sa Wakas, Perlas !!!

At last, after a month of struggle, COMELEC finally released its decision in favor of reinstating Mr. Nicanor Perlas as candidate for president on May 2010 elections. Through resolution 8743, COMELEC reinstated Perlas and senatorial candidate former Army general Danilo Lim to the list of official candidates. This raised the number of candidate for president to 9 and senators to 62.

For the past month since the disqualification of Mr. Perlas, massive street and online protests were made against COMELEC. Blogswarms and tweetswarms were done. And online petitions were signed by thousands of citizens from here and abroad. Even Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki and Australian senator Bob Brown of the Green Party showed their support.

And now efforts have been paid. Our struggle have never been in vain. We have overcome the obstacles. The electorates have won. Now there is a real choice for 2010.

I first thank COMELEC for hearing the voice of the electorates. I also thank those who supported Nick in these hard times. For those who protested on COMELEC and those online. For those people who e-mailed COMELEC and ask them bring back Mr. Perlas. For those who blog and tweet for him. To Mr. David Suzuki and Australian Senator Bob Brown. And to all supporters who never left this battle.

THANK YOU !!!

SA WAKAS, PERLAS !!!


And now the obstacle has been cast away, we are now ready to build a new Philippines. We've made a small victory, but the something big is out to come. We must not be complacent. We must keep the fire burning.


As I end this post, I want to share one of the cheers during Obama's campaign.


I, Perry Chloride


"FIRED UP! READY TO GO !"

LET'S GO CHANGE THE NATION AND THE WORLD !!!
