Actress Pinky Amador joined anti-Marcos protests on Friday, saying people should “speak up.”
“Nung Edsa pa lumalabas na ako talaga,” she told Inquirer.net. “And I really believe na tama na talaga. Oras na para magising na yung taong bayan sa mga hindi magagandang nangyayari.”
(“I have been joining protests since the one in Edsa and I really believe that enough is enough. It’s time for the people to wake up.”)
“We all support the country for good change,” Amador added. “We all support positive political will. Pero wag naman yung ganitong dayaan at nakawan. Kasi ninakaw nila sa taong bayan yung closure, yung paga-apologize, yung pag-aamin, yung pagsasauli ng perang ninakaw nila.”
(“We all support the country for good change. We all support positive political will. But not cheating and stealing. Because they stole from the people, the closure, the acknowledgment, the money of taxpayers.)
Coincidentally, Amador is starring in a martial law-themed play called “Loyalista: Redux,” where she plays a Marcos apologist and a fan of Imelda Marcos. /atm
