Defeats the purpose

Militant groups have too much power. Doesn’t that defeat their purpose? If their purpose is to balance out opinions and their opinions already weigh as much as those of politicians’ (Hell, some of them are politicians!) then that leaves us totally messed up. It is in the nature of militant groups to create noise and disorder. Their purpose is to make sure that no side is left unheard. So what if they have no limit to their noise making? Party list groups should be limited to those with no political agenda. Isn’t the purpose of party list groups to represent those who need to be heard? If militant groups can already make so much noise by themselves (and have news companies feast on their shows) giving them seats in congress defeats the purpose of party list.

Party list is so flawed. It’s supposed to represent those without a voice. But how can those without a voice win a national election? When will indigenous people get a party list seat?

Some militants are power hungry. They are starved for attention. They’re all probably incredibly insecure. It is in their nature to be insecure.

Ask a militant for a solution, and they can give you no plausible action plan. Their task is to complain. If their already exaggerated complaints are magnified by media and broadcast to millions of Filipinos who base their opinions on what they hear (and who themselves don’t care to have an action plan less actually do anything about our problems) we will only be propagating the nasty Filipino culture of complaining and blaming everything else but themselves and their inaction for absolutely all their problems.
People should know where to draw the line when it comes to militant protests. And again, shame on the media for feasting on them and making Filipinos worse off.
