Pictures don't lie: the crowds at the August 4, 2012 rally against the RH bill in EDSA by Carlos Antonio Palad

 
 
UPDATE 8/5/12 at 3:33 A.M. Manila time: Based on the pictures on this blog post as well as other sources, Dr. Quirino Sugon of Manila Observatory, blogger at the Monk's Hobbit, has made an initial estimate of the crowd as having been at 60,000. 





******************************************************************************

And the pro-RH spin machine goes into high gear!
Manila Bulletin, in what will probably go down as one of the lowest and most shameful points in its history, declared that only 2,500 attended the rally. 

According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, there were only 7,000 at the rally today...

Manila Standard Today is a bit more generous: 10,000 were there!

As for the
Philippine Star, it counted "more than 10,000" at the rally.

However, the pictures tell a different story.
