Are you annoyed w/ the Rallyist violent protest?

I am in agreement with you here Letran, we all know they are poor, experiencing hardship LIKE WE DO... but then i could not see the point of always protesting when in fact why don't they work? i am tired of people complaining about the administration, about the prices of these and that going high, about unemployment about how our school and education sucks, for crying out loud can't they move? i mean somehow yes administration could do something for us the people but as people too, these people need to move, support and work.. one would feel progress if one learns to find the initiative to move, to work, to learn! It is tiring as it is becoming a bad image for the whole country. Yes life is hard, money is hard, work is hard,pay is low, commodities and the prices of it is high..yet we must learn to move on, to fight to work for it.. i mean nothing is fair. plus yes the police who are looking after are only doing their job and their life is at risk.. they should still be given credit for it too. those protesters are too much sometimes. sometimes i feel like all they want is money given to them in cold cash.

There are people who complain just for the sake of complaining. I think people in general are sick and tired of these protests because they basically have the same protest every year no matter who the president is. it's just recycled protest, meaning the same issue over and over again. Why can't these people get decent jobs and work their az off so they can find a living instead of letting the leftist use them to wreck havoc on the street and hurting themselves and other innocent people in the process. if the NPA really wants a communist philippines why don't they just go to china?

Well yes I kind of agree with you in here. Although they seem to have some valid thing to protest against the administration, they do not need to have it violently to get attention from the public. I think they are seeking sympathy from the public to support them but, I think Filipinos are not into violent to easily be swayed to join or support them. That I think is why the armed revolution is not prospering in our country because majority of us are not violent by nature.

They are blinded by wrong beliefs on how to manage their life. It is impossible to enlighten them because perhaps, a lot of their leaders might have convinced them well on that manner of expressing theirselves.Nobody listen and they don't know that.They don't know what they were doing

In my honest opinion, these people don't know what they are fighting for or have any ideology at all, I suspect some ...is financing them. They are not real protesters, only poor people who do not know what hard work to progress is all about, they will go out there for a few hundreds of pesosand allow themselves to be manipulated. Last time i saw real protesters was in EDSA I LOL

hi lk, I think they just waste time and materials I will not be annoyed as long as they are not doing this in front of our house happy mylotting

The violence yesterday was completely senseless. They were given the chance to hold a demonstration. They were given a place to do it. But still, they wanted to do things their way. They wanted to go where they were not allowed. They pushed, threw rocks, destroyed things in their way. This is not the EDSA Revolution we are famous for. Just a bunch of people joining the flow because being a protester is cool. It makes people think I care about the country and its people because I'm here fighting. Fighting for what? Do they even know what's going on? Did they bother to carefully listen to the SONA? Haaays.

the way they show their protests is not good and they should stop doing that. they never learn from their previous experiences. i think they really have to stop protesting like that.

dear LK, This is really sad. I saw different protest/rally but not violent. I guess I shall agree with your opinion on this matter. Such kind of protest sounds like they are being used- by influential whatever power behind these protest. Pity are the ones who let themselves used for the benefits of the others...:xxxx

hi, i could say that i am a little beat annoyed if there are some rallyist in the road where i will pass through because they only create heavy traffic along the road,why those people protest in the road and will affect the traffic in the road.that is really scary because everyone could be hurt.

I dunno but protesters most the time is always complaining. They complain about the government and the treatment they get from the police when they are rallying. They have every right to protest or complain. But in my opinion, if you started violence, it’s your own fault if you get hit back. I am not saying that I am patronizing the police. A relative in the forces doesn’t make me a fan of them. However, it makes me more perspective of the dangers that police have to endure. I take insights from my police relative even though he doesn’t participate in rallies. At least, I get a picture of the danger where he is exposed. Most of the time, in rallies like these police are always blamed because they are the authority figures. They have the might as you say and the tools to potentially kill someone. However, it doesn’t mean that they are the automatic guilty party of any disturbance. There are moments when they are truly the culprit but sometimes, it is the rallyists who throw the first rock and hurts the other party. Then, when they are subdued - they cry foul. That, in my book, is unfair. Again, I respect their right to be heard but the right to be heard doesn’t mean the right to hurt and be completely blameless if melee does happen.

I think they really don't know what they are fighting for. I am sure that some of them are just there because they are given money to just be there. What are they rallying for anyway? Because they have no jobs? Why don't they find one? Don't blame the government for not having a job. They should blame themselves. Their lack of skill is their own fault. Why didn't they study hard in school? if they have no money to study, why don't they apply for a scholarship. if they can't, why not be a working student. Now they are blaming the government for lack of job? there are plenty of jobs, they just don't have the skill for it.
