Mabuhay ka talaga President PNOY! Maraming salamat sa suporta sa amin! Mabuhay ang Philippine Single Association (PSA) dahil sa kanilang matiyagang paghihintay at pag-lobby ng batas na ito. Mabuhay ang presidente ng aming asosasyon! Mabuhay ka Pres Rhea! Hinihintay na ni Klawi o ni Marts ang pagtatapos ng iyong termino para mapalitan ka na nila. Haha!

Ginawa ko ang post na ito bilang paggunita sa Single Awareness Month na itinalaga kahapon ng mahal na Pangulo. Read Proclamation 143, series of 2016.

Ipaglaban ang karapatan ng mga SINGLE! LOL! Mabuhay ang mga single! Mabuhay!

PS: Basahin ang Magna Carta for Women. Doon ko ginaya ito. 🙂
