I attended the 1st Facebook Eyeball versus Con-Ass last June 6, 2009. This was brought about when the House of Representatives happened to pass the Con-Ass resolution # 1109.
The main purpose of the event is to raise awareness by using internet media like facebook & blogging. The weather was pretty bad that day but it was still well-attended. Paranaque Congressman Roilo Golez was the special speaker in this eyeball. He narrated to us what happened that night, we asked some questions and the discussions went on with the attendees.
The event was also covered by TV media like ABS-CBN, GMA & TV5.
Basically, Resolution # 1109 aims to amend/revise the constitution. A lot of people are against this as election is upcoming and there is a big chance that the government might use this to their advantage. We still want to have elections to go through next year right?
After the discussions, we were asked to sign on the freedom wall. Just a message that we want to share with the congressmen who voted for the resolution.
