Sunday Silence 7
May 25, 2007, Sunday, 3pm till sunset,
at the Baywalk Stretch across Malate Church,
Roxas Boulevard, Manila.

The Sunday Silence is a year long activity [November 2007-November 2008] that happens every third Sunday of the month. Conceptualized by Ronnie Lazaro of DAKILA and Gang Badoy of Rocked Philippines, the Sundays of Silence reflects the current state of this generation. The activity itself (whether a Sunday Silence or a Sunday Siren) is a statement in itself. It is a gathering of individuals to express their stands on various social issues and concerns. Sunday Silence is a collective rehearsal against apathy.

Together with Rocked Philippines and Lomo Manila, the 7th Sunday Silence is a test of consistency to our advocacies and beliefs. Every third Sunday of the month, we gather, wear blue, discuss/talk among ourselves issues, concerns that we are passionate about then when the sun begins to set, we stand facing the sunset, enjoy the majestic view and the few minutes of silence. That is our statement.

The 7th Sunday Silence is all about consistency. We have done 7 Sundays and 5 more to go. Our goal is to form a line along the whole stretch of Baywalk from CCP to US Embassy. Our objective for the 7th Sunday is to be consistent to our principles, call, stand, advocacy, concept and belief.

So, we call on all DAKILA members (old and new) and invite the public to join us for the 7th Sunday of Silence. We will gather at around 3pm.

For the new members of DAKILA and for those interested to be part of DAKILA, please come for the orientation session that will be held there. We would also like you to meet your fellow DAKILA members.
