The activists never have anything good to say. And here they are again—against the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec). They condemn and rally against this historic event despite the fact (which we all know) that this event will greatly benefit our country and us Filipinos.
These militants always take to the streets shouting that they are against this and that but they have nothing to contribute to the government and the country as a whole. They are loud and desperate. Their behavior is shameful. These militants do not really understand what they are fighting for. If they really want a better country they would be supporting the Apec.
But they are protesting economic cooperation and free trade because once the Philippine economy becomes stronger, once the people get jobs, once poverty disappears, their outdated foreign ideology will become irrelevant. They will become irrelevant.
It is just a shame that they are Filipinos.
