Nov.30 protesters barred from marching to Mendiola

Protesters continued their anti-corruption protest along Recto Avenue on Sunday afternoon after they were prevented by a police barricade from marching to Mendiola Street in Manila.

The rallyists were composed of members from several militant groups that marched from Luneta  starting 12 p.m. 

BAYAN president Renato Reyes said holding a protest in Mendiola is part of their call for accountability.

“Kailangan natin ituloy because that’s part of the message. ‘Pag sinabing lahat ng sangkot, dapat managot, we believe na hanggang Malacañang yun,” Reyes told GMA News Online.

(We need to continue our protest because that’s part of the message. If we say everyone is accountable, it means that includes Malacañang.)

Protesters destroyed a huge effigy called the “Buwayang Dalawahan – The Marcos–Duterte Bureaucrat-Capitalist Monster” depicting President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte. The assembly later sang “Bayan Ko” as part of their program.

The protesters dispersed after 2 p.m. —RF, GMA Integrated News
