Sen. Manuel Roxas II did not attend, but issued a warning to Arroyo against her continued “stonewalling.”

Addressing Arroyo, Roxas pointed out that Friday’s rally was a consequence of her administration’s failure to come clean on the NBN scandal.

“In case you haven’t noticed, Mrs. President, the people are angry. They are very, very angry,” he said, adding: “And if you continue to turn a blind eye to this and sing your chorus that everything’s above board, your so-called ’strong republic’ will just break apart into 86 million pieces. Our country is already broken. The trust of our people in our government, institutions and officials are so low, or zero.”
