ROCK ED RADIO
This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Heavy on the thank you.
Alexis Tioseco. Nika Bohinc. Rest in Peace.

Citizen safe.
A network of friends encouraging each other to stay safe in the cities. SMS at least 3 people the license plate and name of the cab you get into, keep emergency numbers on speed dial if possible. Check on each other when you part after a gathering or a party. SMS each other if you’re home safe. Don’t let anyone you don’t know so well into your home. Always let someone else know where you are or who you’re with. Parents, mentors, friends or siblings. Anyone. As much as possible refrain from ‘secret meet ups’ with people none of your friends know. If you meet someone new - always introduce him or her to family or other friends or classmates. This is not paranoia, this is smart. It is about you and people you care about.
Do not give out your personal information online or when on the phone in public. Watch out for each other. Form neighborhood buddy groups. Be more vigilant. Know the number and location of the nearest police or fire department. Anything. Better to err on the side of caution. Adopt safe habits. Remind each other. Please. Every chance - remind each other - be alert. Don’t doze off in a cab or a train or a bus or a jeep. Stay awake. Look alert.
When I asked inmates in jail, the ones tried for kidnapping and robbery - they say they always prefer attacking people who look inattentive, tired, distracted or someone with a lot of bags and things in their two hands. Interestingly enough, one of the inmates said he never held up anybody who had an umbrella. (Yes, an umbrella!)
Basta, listo dapat at lista! Walk and stride like you’re in charge. It deters them a bit, at the very least.
Hindi ito O.A. Importante ito.
Go where you are safe and stay where you are safe. And keep each other safe. No stupid risks. Safety first.
Safety FIRST.
CITIZEN SAFE: A campaign for urban safety formed in September 2009 after Alexis and Nika were murdered in their Times Street home. This campaign is in their memory. Email us for more suggestions on safety tips. safe@rockedphilippines.org

A contribution to CITIZEN SAFE from G. de la Rama-Talan:
EVERYONE: PLEASE DO NOT EVER GET FROM THIS AGENCY LOCATED IN KAIMITOVILLE TOWNHOMES, KAIMITO STREET, VALLE VERDE 2. THE HELPER (NAMED HEIDI CELESTE) THEY REFERRED TO ME STOLE MONEY AND MY ENGAGEMENT RING, AND ALSO MENTIONED IN PASSING SHE WOULD KIDNAP MY BABY AND HOLD HER FOR RANSOM. THIS AGENCY NEVER BOTHERED TO VERIFY THE ADDRESSES WRITTEN IN THE THIEF’S BIODATA. ALL THE ADDRESSES WERE FAKE. NOT ONLY THAT, THE FIRST HELPER THEY REFERRED TO ME HAD A DISEASE. I URGE YOU ALL NOT TO GET FROM THIS AGENCY, AND TO SHARE THIS POST WITH EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE VALLE VERDE AREA AND ANYWHERE ELSE. I HAVE LEARED MY LESSON AND WILL NEVER GET FROM AN AGENCY AGAIN AND BE EXTRA CAREFUL WHO YOU TAKE INTO YOUR HOMES. THANK YOU. PLEASE. ALL OF YOU WHO UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS WITH REGARD TO YOUR FAMILY’S SAFETY, PLEASE SHARE THIS.
I AM ATTACHING A PHOTO OF THE THIEF HERE. DO NOT HIRE HER IF YOU VALUE YOUR FAMILY’S SAFETY.
As our policy, Rock Ed Radio has never uploaded past episodes on the net. We own the copyright of all recordings of all our episodes.
We do not appreciate it when our hosts or guests are misquoted and we archive recordings for our legal protection.
Any verbal misattribution (due to malice, faulty recalling or clouded memory) assigned to me, Senator Gordon, Mr. Lourd de Veyra and Mr. Erwin Romulo, written in jest or in a sober manner will be reviewed in case any legal response is necessary. I cannot say this enough - we have the full recording as proof so all loose misquotes should stop.
While we understand that our episode last Thursday April 29 was of interest to many- we have decided not to change our standard operating procedure despite many requests for us to upload the recording on the worldwide web.
We have extended due courtesy to our guest and his official campaign team after the interview. We have also extended due reprimands internally and the result comes in the form of an agreement that this April 29th episode will be treated the same way we treat all the episodes we’ve had since 2007.
While this can be misconstrued as censorship let it be known that it is not. This is mere S.O.P - that we have never officially uploaded any Rock Ed Radio episode before and we find no need to make an exception now.
That being said - let this matter rest.
