Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.
For there is no authority except by God’s appointment, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.
So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment (for rulers cause no fear for good conduct but for bad).
Do you desire not to fear authority?
Do good and you will receive its commendation, for it is God’s servant for your good.
But if you do wrong, be in fear, for it does not bear the sword in vain.
It is God’s servant to administer retribution on the wrongdoer.
Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath of the authorities but also because of your conscience.
Romans 13:1-5

Have these people gone beyond borders?
Are they acts justified by their cause?
Is it really freedom of expression?
Is it really for Filipinos?
Is it really for the nation?
