freedom of expression is something that is very important and common to a democratic country like ours. but I have notice that some filipinos seems to abuse it and the fact that they use it as thier allebies....
daghan kayg protesta....nya ang ila ra bang giprotesta la ra ba juy tumong sa paglambo sa atong nasod...faet......
pareha sa mga panghitabo nato karon....tagaadlaw naa nalay rally nga gahasol2x lang sa traffic....
kaning mga tawhana gasayang lang ni sa ilang oras...may pa nagtrabaho sila dadto kaysa magsigigpainit anang dalan diha... nya wala ra ba jed matabang sa problema sa pilipinas....faet jed....!!

Unsa may ika sulti ninyo aning cge lang rally-rally. Sobra ra ang freedom of expression sa 'pnas? Dapat adto lang na sila sa plasa or e isolate og one place where in sila ra then
ipa gawas ilang gibate. Or okey lang sa kalsada bisan maka samok, cause traffic and violent?

Unsay eka comment ninyo ani mga bro?

There's no problem with rallies but sometimes some people overreact when it comes to invoking it... Take a look at the Jeepney strikes for example... There are some drivers who don't want to join maybe because they don't want to put to waste a day's earning... But here are some who would like to force them to join to the point that they would put up spikes to blow off the tires of the plying jeepneys or form "human chains" to block them from going through their routes...

Kaning mga nag rally, naa na silay permit?

Diri sa Holland, you can't hold a rally without a permit. And funny, there are so many limitations to the freedom of speech here. Like you can only hold a rally on the "specific" allocated place approved by the mayor of the municipality. Kataw-anan, pwerteng ka organized.

Kinahanglan siguro sundon na sa Pinas. Mangayo usa ug permit unya dili pataka ug rally bisan asa. Ang munisipyo maoy magbuot asa nila i-hold ang rally para dili samok sa mga tawong walay apil.

Mau man jud nay dapat unta before mag rally, ambot nganung wala gi implement sa Pnas? am sure na-a ni sa atong law wala lang gi implement. Mau sab bitaw na mu abuso ang uban kay naka establish nata og balud peru dili sundon kay ang ga pa implement sab utro na violator except lang sa maayu ha?

faet jud!,..... if e follow ang jud ang balaud walay blema jud unta. We need implementation of law to imphasize and discipline our fellow citizen.

granting if there are provisions as regards to rallies, like particularly acquiring permits beforehand, then i think it's safe to presume bias in giving permits to rallies will something we can consider to be inherent.. especially if it is a direct/indirect attack or those not in favor to the administration/government entities.. recently, i heard from local news that some rallies at capitol were asking for permits, but were granted with it..

[s.n.m.p.]

Pangutana lang ni ako. Pananglit gusto nimo rallyhan si Tomas. Natural adto ka sa iya opisina and then mo ingon dayun ka, Maayung buntag diha Mayor." Bawos pud si Tomas, maayung buntag sab, unsa may ato. Nia lagi mi dir Mayor kay mangayo ta mi ug permit to rally mag rally man gud mi.

Ok kinsa may inyung rallyhan?

Mag rally unta mi mayor against nimo.

Bi, kung ikaw si Tomas, mohatag kaha ka ug permit?

Does he personally sign the Permit? or Some other people are tasked to do it?

s.n.m.p. : nice example man! hehehe.

If by any indication, this Forum would tell us that we just have much too much of the ballyhoed "freedom of expression."

SOP man gyud na bro na naay permit prior sa rally. Mau bitaw nang uban na dakpon sa PNP basta wala mi comply. Naman tay freedom of expression as stated in our philippine constitution as long as they have the permission to demonstrate and exercise our freedom of speech. Since we'r a democratic country. Mau nang nag salig nang uban na habit na nuon. Public disturbance man na if wala.

Ang kuyaw sab ani og dili nta ka dungog nay mag rally. kujaw,...
