Things happened so fast I had to catch up, literally!
After my petition had gone Live on the net yesterday, I emailed Ms. Ellen Tordesillas of the Malaya paper about it. We do not know each other, Ms. Ellen and I, it was a long shot knowing there are a lot of hopefuls out there who wanted their voices to be heard but never had the opportunity to do so. But I share her politics and I admire her sensibility. I guess it’s possible to trust people, although this is a rare occurrence, without meeting each other in person.
So, it was a pleasant surprise to get her call less than an hour after I sent her the email. She asked my permission to publish my petition in her column and I felt, oh my, there is no turning back. So I said, yes and the rest, they say, is her-story.
So far, the blog entry on my petition has gathered 20 comments, check out Ms. Ellen’s blog for the details. As for the petition, it has so far gathered 44 signatures. I know it’s not much but it’s a start, right? And with your help, we can do this!
Everyday, I will be posting the growing number of petitioners here so we can keep track of our progress. We need all the help we can get to achieve our objective, and that is to have a president we truly deserve.
