Hmm...we haven't actually made any official appearance in the Facebook group as an org, right?

Also, can I get an update. Have we contacted other orgs already?

We need a definite presence on the Great Book Bigayan tomorrow. Who can come to represent the org? We need a group larger then two people, please.

It could very well become the command center for whatever steps are going to be done next. As one of the UP groups that are following the issue closely, it is our obligation to the country as a whole to help determine such steps.

Guys, if you need books to donate to the Book Bigayan, you can get the library-worth of books at our house. They're just in the garage, and I've already given instructions to the maid (since I'm in Bangkok).

You can get a lot and say it's from HGC.

Taxes on book imports lifted!

"President Arroyo on Sunday ordered the Department of Finance to scrap the taxes imposed on imported books and reading material."

Wow. That was... surprisingly fast.

Swift and decisive damage control before it explodes into popular consciousness. You've got to give it to Arroyo and her staff: they have survival instincts.

HUA! Victory for the anti-Book Blockade movement! Vox Populi, suckers!

I can finally cross 'Related to someone who made a difference' off my life's To Do list. Laughing

Apparently, this issue isn't as dead as we'd previously hoped:
