Statement of Unity
Bukluran Para sa Katotohanan
We come from all walks of life, from different political, cultural, and economic persuasions, different points of view. But in diversity, we find a cause for unity. That cause for unity is our common objective to secure the truth.
We all seek the truth. We want the truth to come out. And yet every means for seeking the truth has been frustrated; every avenue for arriving at the truth has been blocked; and every opportunity to find the truth is being closed.
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo�s response to our call for the truth has been to suppress evidence, hide her accomplices, engage in a grand cover-up, sow fear, foment distrust and use every instrument at her disposal to encourage division among our people.
We will not be divided in these critical times.
We say with one voice, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo must go. For the good of the country, she must go. For the sake of our nation�s future, she must go. For the preservation of hope as a motive force in our national life, she must go.
We are united by the belief that this crisis must be resolved in a manner that is peaceful and democratic. Without the truth, there cannot be peace; without the truth, there is no genuine democracy. The truth must set our nation free.
Unite for the truth. Demand the truth. Defend the truth.
Call to Action
Bukluran para sa Kototohanan calls on all concerned citizens to step forward and be counted. We shall gather together on Tuesday, September 6, 2005 in front of the St. Peter�s Church on Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, for an inter-faith prayer service. From there, we will march to the House of Representatives to show our support for the representatives who support impeachment.
These are critical days. This is a historic week. These times call for concerted action, and show of strength.
Bukluran para sa Kototohan will be there. Be part of us. Join us.
For the sake of inspiring our representatives to think of country, and not the selfish interests of patronage or party, march!
For the sake of lending our courage to the congressmen who may be wavering or still uncertain, march!
For the sake of demonstrating to our fellow citizens that our resolve will not fail, nor our courage fade, nor our determination fade away, march!
Bukluran para sa Kototohanan calls on every citizen or group to read our statement of unity and add yours to our collective voice.
Unite for the truth. Demand the truth. Defend the truth.
