I was at the Makati City Hall yesterday afternoon up to about 9 p.m. There was a steady stream of visitors, expressing support for Mayor Binay.

There were Bishops Julio Labayen and Bishop Antonio Tobias. Later in the evening the two bishops, together with three other priests, officiated mass.

There was former Finance Secretary Jess Estanislao, whose presence many found significant, because he comes from the business community and is supposedly considered conservative. For him to go there sends indeed a message.

Also there were Vice President Teofisto Guingona, movie producer Arminda Siguion Reyna,Gucci Handbags, lawyer Koko Pimentel, son of Sen. Aquilino Pimentel,Mulberry Handbags, Amina Razul, Rene Saguisag, Leah navarro. I saw activist Linda Montayre.

Earlier, Cory Aquino and Susan Roces were there.

Malaya publisher Jake Macasaet and wife, Karen, were also there.

Originally, the mass was supposed to be held at the 21st floor where Binay is holding office, 24 hours a day, since last Tuesday’s serving of the suspension order. But Binay said, “I feel uncomforable with us holding mass here while thousands are down there, referring to his supporters in front of the City Hall.

Against the advice of his security aide, Binay and his wife, Elenita, joined the mass in front of the City Hall. Right across the street, the Malaca?ang -designated caretaker Rodolfo Ferraren holds office. If they were still there at that time, they must have seen and heard Bishop Tobias say that with what Malaca?ang did in makati, the issue has now gone beyond Binay. He said, “it’s time to show our national anger.”

Binay wore a MABINI T-shirt. MABINI is an organization of lawyers who fought the Marcos dictatorship.

Someone quipped, “Baka kaksuhan din siya ito sa paggamit ng pangalan ni Mabini”,Replica Mulberry; referring to the threat of the AFP to bring Binay to court martial for wearing the military uniform improperly.

There are speculations that Malaca?ang is leaning hard on the Court of Appeals not to grant the temporary restraining order that Binay is asking. There are also some who said that seeing the determination of Binay to fight back and the support he is getting Malaca?ang now wants to save face and is the one urging the CA to grant the TRO so they can get out of the mess in Makati that they have created.

As I write this, I got a text that in anticipation of the big rally that is being organized for tomorrow by various groups working for freedom and democracy, Malaca?ang has ordered a dispersal of the crowd now. Both sides are now mobilizing!

Here are some of the pictures:

I’m encountering difficulty posting pictures. I’ll try again later.

We visit the church,Replica Mulberry, have lunch, and then continue by bus to Elia beach – reputed to be the best gay beach on Mykonos these days. The bus is loaded down with gorgeous men. One cutie from France has a Yorkshire Terrier in his handbag, and he’,Prada Purses;s standing in the aisle right next to my seat. I get a French kiss from the French Yorkie! Storm or no-storm, the day is looking brighter already!

The beach turns out to be stunning in every respect. We head to the right from where the bus drops us off, which is the direction of the nude portion of the beach. There are lots of lounges covered with palm-frond umbrellas on the sandy portion, and then the rocks and crags begin and the sandy portions of the beach are fewer and smaller. We settle in for some swimming and sunning,replica Louis Vuitton, and then catch the 4:25pm bus back to Mykonos. Several of us get off high above the town so that we can walk down and take photographs of the gathering storm as we make our way back to the hotel.

Tonight we are on our own for dinner. We go back into town in small groups. My own group of four opts to come back to the hotel after dinner in order to pack and be ready to leave tomorrow morning on our transfer to Naxos. Let’s hope the rains continue to hold off
