The new yellow

Black is the new yellow.

In the old dictatorship of Marcos, the conjugal dictatorship wanted all taxis painted another color other than yellow because yellow became associated with Ninoy Aquino and the street protests.

In this current dictatorship, it appears black is  the new yellow.

As with all dictatorships, they start by being OA (over-acting).

Pardon my ignorance, but, has it really become a de facto dictatorship? I thought that 1017 was repealed.

Proc 1021 declared that the state of national emergency has ceased but did not expressly revoke Proc 1017--which called out the armed forces--or GO 5 and GO 6.

A dictator is one who rules without a legitimate mandate. So its not de facto. I don't mean dictatorship only in relation to 1017, but starting 2004.

hey teddy,

are you friends with some personalities in the b&w movement? could you relay to them this simple request: publish the template design of the notorious shirt so we can have them reproduced in cdo. [say, like a downloadable item from the blog site.]
