Philippines.  All rallies are banned.  email and texting disrupted.
Massive rallies are happening anyway and being met with violent
dispersal.  Six  progressive congresspeople including GABRIELA

Beltran have been arrested.  Grassroots organizations are under
threat; warrants have been issued for their leaders.  Media
organizations have been "cautioned," and at least one - The Daily
Tribune - has been closed.

heard and protect the people in the Philippines

of emergency and the ouster of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo!
