It genuinely does piss me off that international news agencies are choosing to cover the fuckasses at Mendiola than the thousands who marched peacefully and even if they clarify it within their coverage, most of them showcase the Mendiola rioters as clickbait when those people are not only unrepresentative of the majority of the protesters but even actively antithetical to their message.
There's been reports left and right locally here and from people who were near the scene that these people were not just here to try to protest for government accountability like the over 50k that did in both Luneta and EDSA as well as the thousands more in different parts of the country, but were seeking violence to try to install a different corrupt leader they were loyal to. They aren't just disgruntled citizens, they're actively anti-poor because they're stuck in the corrupt ex-president and his daughter the current vice president's cult of personality.
It isn't just American news outlets who do this shit either. European and other Asian outlets also do this and of course even local media do the same thing and it annoys the hell out of me. At least local media has actively stated the facts that this is a separate group from the peaceful protest and are in fact members of that cult of personality.
If you're a foreigner or an uniformed Filipino, these rioters are not only not representative to the actual calls of the people and their demands but are actively harmful and just wish to install their own leader who had also stole so much from us and our taxes that it's actively infuriating. Literally most people who were in the rally in-person or had been actively following and supporting it remotely could tell you that these people do not represent us and it's actively insulting to say so.

Recto: The “front” of a leaf of paper. In books that are written from left to right (as in European languages), this is the page on the right-hand side of the codex. In books that are written and read from right to left (as in Arabic, Hebrew, and many Asian languages), the recto is on the left-hand side and the verso is on the right-hand side. The other side of a leaf is the verso side.
