#presduterte

This time I can’t get the point why activists are protesting right now. Please explain to me, I'm ignorant!

I’m not a Dutertard/DDS nor Dilawan. I’m just a Filipino citizen who cannot understand my fellows. If they think that they are doing this for our country, then why they have to protest during the summit? To express their opinion? Or to just make “epal” to the world leaders? 

Another question I want to be answered is - why on earth they are protesting against US Pres. Donald Trump? Are they American? Did Trump hurt them? I just don’t understand. America is one of our partners in the world. They can help us when there is a crisis happening in our country. So, be friendly to everyone especially to our comrades.

Stop Capitalism! Stop Imperialism!

Those are the common words that are written on their placards. First of all, capitalism is important to our country. Giant businessmen have the capital to start their own business and through that, they can create and give work to us. Don’t complain if you are just a minimum wage earner and all the profit will go to the businessmen, be thankful instead because you have a work. Always remember, Business is business!

Imperialism, of course, has a negative aspect to our country, but don’t just focus on the bad side. Extending the power of other nations, like U.S., to our country, is somehow good for us. We all know that the U.S. is the most powerful country in the world. U.S. is like our big brother who can protect us from others if we will just let them to. You are barking at the wrong tree!

I consider myself as a social activist but this time I really don’t know what you are doing. Moreover, I am not questioning your freedom of expression. What I just want to say is that do your act properly.

First, what is Extrajudicial Killings? It is the killing (mainly politically motivated) of a person by governmental authorities or dominant political groups without the sanctions of any judicial proceeding or legal process

I have a mixed opinion about this topic because I have trust on our beloved President Rodrigo Duterte because he has the experience to handle drug related issues because he was once a mayor Davao city. Davao city was ranked as 4th most safest city in the world here’s the link http://www.sunstar.com.ph/davao/local-news/2015/06/23/davao-now-4th-safest-city-414856 That’s why he earned my respect and  trust.

Unfortunately I disagree with President Rodrigo Duterte’s actions because his way of punishing the criminals that are related to drugs. He is too extreme to the situation that most of the drug related cases do not go through due process and legal process. The way he handle it is too extreme in my opinion, it’s not a bad  thing people may find it as an immoral act because killing other people is plain wrong, but if its for better of our country.
