The Board of the Cultural Center of the Philippines will face a Senate hearing this Tuesday morning, August 16 at 930am in the Plenary Hall of the Senate Building in Manila to answer for their ‘crime’ of displaying the Kulô exhibit. The CBCP and its conservative religious right allies will be mobilizing en masse to support their new inquisition, so we are putting out a call to any and all who can make it to troop to the plenary hall gallery (as its a public hearing any valid ID will get you in) and support freedom of speech.
Just by sitting in the hall in numbers across from the same religious right groups that continually threaten violence against the CCP and the artists it supports, you can make a difference by showing the Senators in attendance that there are those who are willing to stand firm against censorship.
