Pinoy Politics came to roost on our doorstep last Friday. Literally, as the administration’s Team Unity closed off a sizable portion of Pasong Tamo in Makati City, including the block fronting the Inquirer office, for their miting de avance.
Whoever organized the affair must have imagined himself a latter-day Cecil B. De Mille. A projected cast of thousands of Makati’s dispossessed and Binay-disenchanteds was to have occupied the rows and rows of white monobloc chairs that stretched from the corner of Vito Cruz Extension all the way to Kalayaan Avenue. Scaffoldings with giant screens and loudspeakers were set up at every other corner. The side streets, which bore the brunt of the traffic gridlock all day, were simply closed off with steel barricades.
