AND THIS IS HOW THE PALACE SPINS NEWS. "PANTS ON FIRE!!!!! 1) Edwin Lacierda, it is not true that "Abad and the Million People March leaders met at the Department of the Interior and Local Government to discuss the abolition of the pork barrel fund by President Aquino." -- Had Mr Lacierda bothered to check with Dinky S and Butch A, they would have told him that the so-called "leaders" (initiators, groups that collaborated to give some organization and safety to a huge undertaking) were not there. At least three people made that clear during the meeting. They would probably have told him too, that the MPM groups and individuals have a very clear petition -- #ScrapPork, not just PDAF plus two other calls. 2) “I really don’t know who are these people behind this new march (EDSA Tayo). But what is very, very obvious is that the organizers of the Million People March are not involved in this particular march,” Lacierda said. -- Since when has Lacierda become spokesman of the MPM? Some of the individuals and groups there will not go to EDSA Tayo for various reasons -- they are working, they feel iffy with the date while some are going. Lacierda does the people that helped make MPM a reality a great disservice by implying they would disparage other initiatives against the pork system. Most actually encourage and support other initiatives, down to the grassroots. Lacierda has his leadership concept all wrong. MPM/ScrapPork fully supports all peaceful initatives to Scrap All Pork and to further Transparency and Accountability. callout: Junep, EDSA TAYO" -Inday Varona
