if may rally ang sales ng mga retail stores from car accessories to others fall. because people choose to stay home rather than go out. To give you one example, kami nasa province we often order stuff from manila to be sent here. During the stupid Peninsula takeover we had a pending air freight order for parts, the forwarder was not able to pick-up the part in makati because it was traffic and some of the roads are blocked. We were watching the happenings in the TV, my installer said, "boss why are you watching that, it will not affect us naman eh, sa manila naman yan." I answered back "because of the stupidity of these people, our order was not picked up by the forwarder, tomorrow the order will not arrive, then tomorrow you will not have a job to do wala kang commission, you just lost 300 bucks because of this." and he said "ay ganoon pala, wala kwenta ginagawa nila pati kami na aapectohan."
unlike if you are there as an OFW, mag rally man sila dito araw gabi, isang linggo, isang buwan hindi ma aapectohan ang income nyo. while people who are left here who works hard to feed thier family are the ones affected by their so called "rally or truth".
The politicos? the have enough money stashed away to feed their families. all they will do if worst comes here in the Phils is to go abroad. while those people na binabayaran mag rally, they think that they just earned a days work. they dont think of the real consequences of what they are doing.
