Regarding today's event, students are experiencing stereotypes because of entering universities or schools.
People would classify university students as activists because most of the people attending rallies are students.
In addition they would say, "Bayad na nga tuition nila, nagrereklamo pa?", "Mga scholar ba 'yan ng bayan? Bakit mga ganiyan?".
To break the stigma, students are entering prestigious universities because of the qualities and aspects it provides. Whether it is for the student or the student's future.
Various students would be part of the crowd shouting for everyone's rights because it is their right and they are doing it for the sake of others, not just for their families and themselves.
Others are entering university for them to challenge themselves and learn from the mistakes that they made.
Activist isn’t a concrete word to define a student choosing to be a voice for others who cannot be heard.
Students have goals and aspirations for them to be called activists.
