THE GOVERNMENT KNEW THEY HAD CREATED A MONSTER

Every time I see UP student scholars staging a rally; attacking the policies of PRRD against the NPA, Drug War, criminality, and practically everything he does, uttering unthinkable words that incite rebellion, I stand dumbfounded and I always have that daunting question in my heart — why are they doing this? 

Now I ask, "Where’s their gratitude for the opportunity and privileges of the scholarship granted them by the government?” And my answer is: “these students are ingrate who does not acknowledge the love and support they’re receiving from the government." If this is the case, the government has every reason to withdraw and stop free education to them. 

It is in your ultimate best interest to take care of those who take care of you. The metaphorical hand that feeds you may be providing you with monetary value like education. You shouldn’t be causing their downfall, lest he turns around and takes away what you need. 

Now, that PRRD is caught between a rock and a hard situation, he has every reason to do what he will under the circumstances to protect the country and him, by immediately ending their scholarship. That’s about sums it up. 

The government knew they had created a monster and had to contain it. Otherwise, one day, the swarms of these hybrid horrors breed out of control.

The government has to clip the wings of these students; otherwise, they mount a wrath-filled assault against PRRD. They’re not showing any sign of standing down. As ferocious as these swarming marauders are, they seem like harmless little nuts but a monster wrathful sinners as their way of life.

These UP student scholars, because they thought they are the privilege, they got an outsize ego and pride. They often take out their prideful aggression on the wrong target: when ego comes crashing down, things get ugly and out could come the green-eyed monster in themselves.
