Welcome to Gaia! ::

I seem to agree to both of your sides. People really because they want to express and release their opinions, feelings, and their side in the situation. They have the right to do that because it makes them feel it "might" do something. They want to show that they can't take anymore and that it is affecting them. Rallying seems to "calm" spirits and minds because it might feel as if you released your anger, though not really doing anything useful for the whole country.

But then again, Katsumoto is right. Gloria has not really revealed that she cheated on the votes. People HAVE misinterpreted her statement. They think she DID cheat on the votes and she is corrupt and does not deserve to be president. She COULD have done something really bad in the past, but I don't think the rallyists have the right to say something false or has not been proven. That's libel AND slander. They should see if it's true THEN that's when they have the complete right to rally.

Well, people really sacrifice everything for what they believe in even if it takes not having food in the table three times a day. Nakakaawa lang kasi if they belive in something and do something for a wrong cause, it will be their undoing. Naaawa ako sa masa kasi sila ang ginagamit usually in rallies and doon sa rally namimigay sila ng pagkain kaya madaming masa ang pumupunta. Imagine! They are manipulating the people's mind, poisoning them just like giving them arsenic or something. Nakakaawa lang talaga.

Aray ko! Nakakasakit ng damdamin iyan.

ano ang meron? pera. may pera ka, may edukasyon ka. may edukasyon ka, mas nakakaintindi ka. hindi natin mapipilit sa ating mga pananaw yung mga taong sawang sawa na sa nangyayari sa mga mumunting buhay nila. all of us here have the luxury to be open-minded dahil 'di tayo masyado naaapektuhan. which is not the case for them. sila ang pinakanakakaramdam ng mga kabalastugan na ginagawa ng mga nasa pusisyon. at sa katayuan nila sa buhay, ano ang ibang alternatibo sa pagra-rally para maiparating ang hinaing nila?

sad..... next year tayo na pinaka corrupt na bansa sa asia.... kasi takot mga pilipino sa pagbabago eh

hahahha, nakakasawa na rin maging pro-pinoy.... punta nalang ako italy

When did rallies suddenly kill a nation???? Even in america they hold rallies. They scared investors away, yeah right. The first thing investors look at is consistency of policies and trasparency of the procedures and implementation of said policies. And as you cann see Gloria exemplified this lack of transparency through her "phone calls".

And didn't you know that Gloria borrowed excesively in the first quarter of this year (or was it last year)which eventually led to this fiscal deficit in the government which consequently led to the EVAT. And that coming from a "economist" is just so great.
(read the research of the U.P professors if you wnat to learn more)

And these people didn't just simply think ot these things out of the bat? Are you saying that these proffesors just heard this phone call and suddenly stipulated that Gloria is a bad, bad girl. I'd challenge you to say that to Mr. Chito Gascon and other members of the black and white movement.

I suggest you go to forums more if you want to learn more about the wrong doings of our excellency.

And boo to people who believe that supporting Gloria would make things better when in fact it doesn't. I believe if we could only have cenrtainty of punishment in our country then maybe rule of law could really work but right now it doesn't. And what if this whole issue of electoral fraud is not adressed? Then what of the next elections where we would face again the same thing. Another Garci, no reforms in the system of government would change if the people who man it are still the same crooks.

The problem with our country is we never put officials accountable- We let them be. Even in the disaster ridden New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of America what I see is clear lines of accountability. People knew who to pressure, be it the federal government or FEMA and as for us we don't know who to hold accountable. We can't blame anyone and we even find it taboo to blame someone in power. It's like this opposition = destabilization. Yeah right, if you know how democracy really works then a healthy opposition is vital for any democracy. What a fake democracy we have.

I can't stand this anymore. I can't stand people who evade issues. I can't stand people believing that evading issues leads to development. Right now we need to adress this issue of fraud to really know if Gloria stole our god given right of suffrage.

Ah I am tired... I am loosing hope in this country but still hope lingers quietly. And this is the path I choose to follow it maybe wrong but I believe that inorder to bring order one needs chaos.

I think the reason people view these rallies so negatively juat one, they are closely associated with the left and the administration has effectively marketed this perception to the general public that is why I think people view rallyist so negatively.

@flashpoint I am an alumni of LSGH XD nice to see a GH boy here.

uy fellow archer! Na-nspire rin po ba kayo ni Ms. Fay or ni Ms. Panganiban or ni Mr. Miguel domokun ?

Bwiset yang mga ignorant people na yan. Marami na akong nakaharap na ganyan eh. Siyempre, bilang isang aktibista marami ka ring makakaaway (isa na ate ko dun). Nakakaasar lang eh feeling nila may alam sila eh pero sa totoo nagmamarunong lang.

Kung may nalalaman sila bat sila walang ginagawa?! Ignorante talaga
