It's because you're using the Grid classes wrongly in <div>
It should not be col-4
should be like this: col-md-4
(where MD is, can be lg, md, sm, or xs)
Official Bootstrap3 Grid Documentation: link
That way it will work, see:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" />
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">
<p>algo aqui 1</p>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<p>algo aqui 2</p>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<p>algo aqui 3</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
NOTE: In the example I used XS to always stay in 3 columns, even on small screens
If you are using Bootstrap 4 you can use the columns only as col-4 itself. In that case your problem would be with Bootstrap indexing on your page.
See the example in Bootstrap4
