Mga ginagalang na convenors at kasapian:



Malugod na saludo at pagbati!



Maraming salamat sa paglulunsad ninyo ng Free Ka Bel Movement. Higit
kailanman, napapanahon ito.



Alam nating lahat na ang kalayaan ay matayog at mahirap na abutin. Ito rin
ang tila isang panaginip na hangarin. Si Patrick Henry, sa kanyang hangaring
lumaya, ay nagsisigaw, "Give me liberty or give me death." Si Ninoy Aquino
naman, makalipas ang halos dalawang daang taon at sa harap ng hukumang
militar ay sumigaw: "I better die on my feet with honor, than to live on
bended knee in shame!". Tatlong (3) taon matapos siyang patayin, niragasa ng
taongbayan ang diktadura't itinapon ito sa basurahan ng kasaysayan.



Borrowing a few positive notes from Ninoy's uncompromising stand, I said a
few days ago: "I will do my best to get out from this illegal detention, so
I can be with you once again inside and outside Congress."



This was quoted by fourteen (14) Belgian friends in a letter to me on March
2, 2006 (one of the hundreds of foreign support groups) who declared: "We
respect and honor Ka Bel as a spokesperson for the workers and the poor. We
know that the party Anakpawis stands for: national freedom and democracy,
livelihood, genuine respect for human rights, social justice and peace."



Hihintayin pa ba natin ang international strike laban sa Pilipinas?



Hihintayin pa ba natin ang daluyong at tsunami ng bayan na, dahil sa
pagkakakulong at posibleng kamatayan ng anim na (6) na maliliit na 'Ninoy',
at posibelng marami pang isusunod, tulad nina (Gloria Step Down Movement
Spokesperson) Dennis Maga at (KMU leader) Marcial Dabela, ay maaaring
sumambulat?



There are big writings on the wall! Nakapangingilabot, ngunit kailangang
harapin ng masang gutom at galit!



Samantala, napakahalaga ng inyong kilusan―upang maunawaan ng ilegal, ganid,
malupit, at mandarayang mang-aagaw ng trono sa Malakanyang, ang maaari
niyang sapitin kung hindi pa siya agaran at kusang-loob na magresign. Sa
kabilang banda magpapatuloy naman ang (po)pularisasyon at expansyon ng
organisado, palaban, at demokratikong mamamayan.



Sana ay mapakinggan ng Malakanyang ang inyong sinasanib na tinig.



Mabuhay kayo!
