‘Kompre’ convenor David, a highly paid Aquino official

If there were “fake reformists” President Aquino harangued and warned against, they’re probably at the phony “Koalisyon ng Mamamayan Para sa Reporma” (Kompre).

Kompre was “launched” on the day of the August 25 anti-pork barrel demonstration, which became an anti-Aquino rally attended by the entire spectrum of political activism, from Church leaders to Leftist organizations. Kompre was obviously meant to steal the thunder from that event, and portray that Aquino still has support from that middle-class, articulate sector we call “civil society” here.
