Filipino Silent Protesters We are an association of Filipinos who have decided to express our protest with the current state of affairs in the country such as rampant cronyism, nepotism and favoritism. Thus we have decided to provide a forum and chatroom for all who wish to express their views, opinions, criticisms, and constructive proposals towards making those who govern our country listen to us and, perhaps, adopt some of the concrete measures that we propose.

We have adopted the exclamation point as the symbol of our outrage, frustration and dismay. Private citizens with no political or vested interests have printed the first batch of stickers displaying this symbol, and distributed them to like-minded Filipinos to be displayed on the rear windows of their vehicles. We hope that individuals or organizations can print more of these stickers if they would like to express in a peaceful and democratic fashion their protest, and distributing them to others who feel as they do. In this way, we all can make a truly meaningful expression of our outrage, and to start contributing corrective measures through this forum to those who govern this nation, so that we all can make this a better Philippines.
