This is what I can say to people who came to the Ayala Million People March that was attended by less than three thousand people.
If there was a message that can be gleaned from that rally, it was the rejection by the people of mercenary activism and the career activists who led the rally. People did not just stay away from it, they watched with hostility and contempt, wary and suspicious of the organizers true intent.
One of the organizers even withdrew her support for the rally at the last minute calling some of her fellow organizers users.
For so long and in the spirit of freedom of expression and free speech, people have tolerated the noisy disruptive antics of the professional militants mostly from the left. Now however, people seem to be more discerning and refused to be used or fooled by them.
There was one strange thing at the rally though. The golden pig that was supposed to symbolize the hated pork barrel had lost its nose and so did not really look like a pig. What happened? Instead of symbolizing the pork barrel, this animal aptly portrayed the militants who simply want people to conform to their version of reality.
