MANILA, Philippines - Militants resumed Sunday their spray-painting of posters and tarpaulins of Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Bayani Fernando, focusing their efforts in Quezon City.
Radio dzBB's Allan Gatus reported that members of Kadamay defaced the posters of Fernando, including those calling for discipline and those congratulating him for winning a TV singing contest.
The group concentrated its activities in some areas of Quezon City, including Commonwealth Avenue, Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) and Kamuning.
Also, the group said it is planning a protest march to Mendiola Bridge against Fernando scheduled Dec. 1 and 2.
Militants accused Fernando of violating human rights with the MMDA's clearing operations targeting sidewalk vendors.
But a Q-11 television report Saturday night quoted Fernando as saying the vendors who are the targets of clearing operations should pay legitimate rent in markets instead of protection money to syndicates that let them place stalls in the sidewalk. - GMANews.TV
But really, come to think of it, why would sidewalk vendors pay "syndicates" who cannot keep them on the sidewalk anyway, unless the syndicate is made up of the very people who do?
I take my hats off to people who do get to give those BF posters a dose of BF's own medicine. All I do is rant about the posters. These people actually DO something about them.
