The Intellectual Bankruptcy of UP Activism - A Dilemma.
The activism in our country, especially in our government has worsen than how it used to be before, way back "Martial Law" era. Every politicians didn't want to be succumbed by their fellow politicians, everyone wants to speak up and be the cheer of the crowd, one never wanted to get left behind.
This attack on Sec. Butch Abad regarding on the 10-B peso PDAF scam is said to blow up UP's honor, to show off how great UP alumni are. I felt very exasperate and annoyed by how Filipinos think and act today, practicing the "crab-mentality" immorality that grimes our nationality. Beyond this so-called "hooliganism" they kept on criticizing how intimidating our rotten ideas are, that could only result in the exhausting strength of our intellectual lives.
The only way that they could fight back and win with a Garibay and a Monsod, is through physical, for they lack words to express their winning thoughts, and physical fights would do better for their success.
The government is boycotting the voice of the youth, bit by bit, to prevent the youth to speak up their minds and block them from revealing the obscured truth. The "Anti-Selfie Bill" is one of the great example of it. They did not want the juveniles to be the reason of their fall. That's why.
I do not know what is the profound reason of every politician in doing this, but all I know is the chain reaction effect it would cause to us. One falls after the other, and the other, and the rest. Until none of us will remain standing still.
