Naked protesters slam gov’t circus
MANILA, Philippines – Protesting the alleged “circus” in government over the pork barrel scam, protesters held a naked rally at the Senate Monday calling for a stop to the investigations of lawmakers and a start of court proceedings.
“In light of the present hearing and investigation on the ongoing Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) issues, we the Katipunan Kontra Korapsyon (KKK) want to call to stop this madness and circus in the Halls of Congress,” the group said in a statement.
Several members of the group shed their clothes to symbolize their call that the naked truth be revealed and for the “zarzuela” (drama) in congress be stopped.
The group called for the arrest of those implicated in the scam, namely Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Ramon Revilla Jr., and Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada.
“This has been dragging far enough, concocting lies and stories, and the Philippines being held hostage by simple and common crooks disguising as whistle blowers or truth tellers,” they said.
