A Digest Alumni: Upholding the principle of "Your Voice! Your Strength"

I am always proud that I have been an "uyamot" member of the University Digest. I am also proud that I have met and worked with some of the most principled individual in that organization.

That is why, since I got some technical know-how on I.T (I graduated in computer engineering by the way, ha!ha!), this is my way of upholding that principle.

I have wanted to get in touch with Karl but he has no web-print (a footprint in the internet). He has no facebook, friendster, yahoo, or gmail. But I got some information on what he does and when he got that Atty title. He s*cks!ha!ha!.

Well I hope he doesn't sue me. =D
Anyway here is some of the things I got from the net and I would like to share it to all of you....

MANILA, Philippines -- Quezon City Assistant Prosecutor Ferdinand Baylon ordered Friday afternoon the release of 28 farmers who were arrested the previous day while picketing the Land Registration Office in Quezon City, their lawyer said.

Karl Marx Carumba said the prosecutor did not require any of the farmers to post bail although nine of them, including a minor, were charged with illegal assembly and disobedience to a person of authority.

A copy of Baylon’s resolution said, however, that the charges against the nine are subject to further investigation.

Carumba said the farmers went back to the Department of Agrarian Reform and plan to continue their protest on Monday.

According to Rogelio Salva, 58, one of the charged farmers, he would continue to join his companions and would not go home to the province.

“In my whole life I never thought of being thrown into jail, now that I experienced it, I intend to continue our fight for our cause,’’ Salva told the Philippine Daily Inquirer (parent company of INQUIRER.net) in the Visayan dialect.
