Thank God It's Yellow Friday: "Rally" for Noynoy in Makati CBD


I just heard news that Noynoy supporters will be trooping to Makati tomorrow and Friday hereafter until election day (except for Good Friday). According to the Noynoy Aquino for President website (http://www.noynoy.ph), this is NOT a rally. Take note: it's NOT a rally. There might not be any need to panic but perhaps just reason to add a little allowance to your travel time estimate if you're planning on going to Makati for a Friday gimmick.
Yellow clad Noynoy supporters will be assembling at the following points at 4:45pm and will stroll along the sidewalks from the assembly points to the Ayala Triangle Garden then already disperse as soon as the four groups converge at the garden.

  • RCBC Plaza - Ayala Avenue corner Buendia
  • People Support - Ayala Avenue corner Buendia
  • McDonald's, Pasay Road corner Paseo de Roxas
  • Sta. Potenciana Gate, Urdaneta Village
If this is the case, then I don't believe that they'll be causing any monstrous traffic jams so long as they keep to the sidewalks.
In any case, it will be quite a spectacle to see groups of yellow clad people walking the sidewalks and converging at one point.
I wish them all the best. So long as they don't cause traffic (especially since they picked traffic ridden Fridays of all days), I'm all for what they're trying to do even if I'm not yet a decided Noynoy supporter (but I'm definitely NOT a Villar or Erap supporter).
At the very least it seems like it's going to be a peaceful and unobtrusive "demonstration" of support for Noynoy.
Happy Yellow Friday!
