Maaring hindi pa nakikita ng lahat ng mamamayan kung ano ang kahalagahan ng aktibismo sa buong mundo. Pero dapat maunawaan nila na ang mga pag-iingay, pag ra-rally nila ay para sa kapakanan ng lahat, para sa batayang karapatan ng lahat, para sa lahat kahit pa sa’yo na galit sa mga aktibista.

Sir aktibista ka po ba? Question lang po hehe. Actually, may mga iba naman talagang matino jan na bayan/mamamayan pinaglalaban. May kaklase ako dati na sumama dahil sa pinaglalaban nya and I believe him. Kaya lang parang ginagamit din sila e. Ang dami mong maririnig sa mga kaliwa abt "tuta ng kano" etc pero parang wala pa ako gano naririnig abt China especially ngayon na may island dispute. Hindi ba nakakapagtaka... or dahil ba komunismo sa china kaya ganon
