In commemoration of Kulo's now-thwarted closing day, and to show our solidarity with our country's fearless and passionate artistic community, a march for freedom of expression will take place on the afternoon of the 21st.
We have a very special surprise coming up very, very soon -- something that quite literally exhibits our thrust to grow and improve as an organization. Can you guess what it is?
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 Kulo 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.
Location: Starbucks at Ansons across The Podium, Ortigas (Google map)

Shhh… keep quiet...
The winner of each category will get a staggering Php100,000. If the Freethinkers bag the 2 categories they were nominated for, that's Php200,000 that will go to furthering reason, science, and secularism to vastly improve every Filipino's quality of life. That's a LOT of bishop costumes, guys.
