Updates:
8/07/08 Friends for Tibet-Cebu joined the candle4Tibet and to distribute fliers for the planned Aug 8th Concert for Tibet Awareness. The biggest project the group ever had since it was formed two years ago. More than 30 bands were to play for a cause on this free-of-charge concert where slides and videos and announcements about the Tibet issue will be done in between band sets. The project was pretty much accepted that even the regional Reuters had contact and to inform the group that it is sending its local affiliate, the ABS-CBN TV network to cover the event. The concert was very successful in terms of spreading Tibet awareness, especially in these parts where the Tibet issue is rarely heard. Pictures and videos will be loaded at candle4tibet and YouTube as soon as they are available. Also follow tsg-Pilipinas link below for partial postings, more to post once they get to me.

During the candle lighting on the 7^th of Thursday, the group was supposed to light candles on two venues. The first was the concert site in Mambaling District, south of the City and at the Chinese Consular Office in midtown Cebu City. Earlier that evening the ABs-CBN crew had contacted the officer of the consular office about comments on the group's plan candle vigil and concert in regards to its policy.

This triggered an alert (from whom?) and the whole block area of the Chinese consul was cordon off with two fire trucks and local police who they said were anticipating a demonstration. The group had to go back to the park venue since it was trying to avoid the confrontational mood at that moment.

The Circle of Friends were not sure if they were the intended party or another local leftist group that were also planning to stage mass action on the Chinese office due to its human rights violation in Tibet and Burma. Jacinto Vidal, coordinator of Friends for Tibet later said, that why should the consul office be afraid of some twenty-plus people who were only armed with candles and with their strong convictions.

He said that they were only seeking to express their support for the people of Tibet and to join the peaceful worldwide action.

8/23/08 The second candle vigil was this time stage for about an hour by the entrance of the Chinese consul office in the Chong Hua Compound.  The whole compound was off limits per request of the consular officers in lieu of the vigil activity but
the Friends for Tibet had permission from the local police to stage a one hour silent candle vigil at the vicinity of the gate.
Another vigil was done after this at the Fuente Osmena Circle was flyers and signs were displayed by the group.
