Classes on Monday have been suspended for schools near the Batasan Complex. I guess I should plan to stay in then.
It will be our 4th year to witness the protesters of the President's State of the Nation Address. I recall that in previous years, we used to plan to leave the vicinity early so we can still go to work or fulfill our obligations. It was quite inconvenient and too bothersome to reside in an area that is too close to the House of Representatives. When there are heated political disputes, our area is always at the heart of the political activity. Our access to Commonwealth would most likely be obstructed by protesters and policemen trying to disperse protesters.
Though I do not expect anything new out of the SONA, I do hope that it will be a peaceful day.
