This is good, people are vigilant against abuses by government. And this should serve as big warning to corrupt and abusive leaders and officials in both Executive and Legislative branches, that the anti-corruption rallies in Nepal and Indonesia that turned violent would happen in the country.
Today is also the Martial Law anniversary imposed by former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. in Sept. 21, 1972 or 52 years ago.
There are many faces and forms of corruption, especially the endless "crisis" narratives -- hunger crisis, education crisis, health crisis, population crisis, inequality crisis, garbage crisis, climate crisis, virus crisis,... Each"crisis" narrative once accepted leads to more government "solutions" that require even bigger government spending, taxation, borrowings, and so on.
The Trillion Peso March can help lead to such realization. We do more personal and parental responsibility in our own lives, less government responsibility, less government taxation and spending.
