FILIPINO WOMEN WON

The clamor of the people holding a picket rally at freedom park in Roxas was the same with the heat brought by the sun last Dec. 4,2006. It was in support to Nicole, a Filipina raped-by US militaries in Subic months ago. (Nicole, who was incidentaly lived Davao and an Atenean, filed a case against the military men who raped her.) We have decided to join the rally to show sympathy. The groups were from Gabriela, a women's party advocating for gender equality and took care on women's and children's rights.

I am happy that Nicole made it. At least, she has proven that she was telling the truth.

The victory of Nicole's battle is the victory of all Filipino women. This is a good start for the Filipino women's long conviction of supression on a macho-culture of the country and the rest of the world. This is also a proof that justice is still alive in the spirit of democracy in a country laid by political and social chaos.

Also, I would like to express my DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT to all Filipinos who have not believe Nicole from the day she screamed for justice. Woe to those people who don't beleive in the capacity of women's strength to relive her dignity. Woe to them who patronized the western culture and blinded by their foolish culture.

MABUHAY ANG MGA BABAE!
