Traffic happened when The Pope came, traffic happens during fiesta and traffic happened when the nuns and priest walked in Edsa to defend their beliefs. We have to respect the right of a sect, religion or individual - may they be Catholic, Islam, Protestant, Iglesia or someone who exercise a personal religion... to express their freedom.
Thus, as an ordinary and educated citizen, lets have that mutual respect. In a way that we want ours to be respected. For "...You can't choose which freedom you want to defend. You must defend all of it or be against all of it."
