Around 30 members of the Ateneo de Manila University's Employees and Workers Union staged a noise barrage against President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in solidarity with militant groups behind today's National Day of Protest.
Armed with banners, pans, cans and other noise-making materials, the university's union members vigorously staged their colorful and noisy protest rally just before the Ateneo's gate 3 area in busy Katipunan Avenue.
Motorists likewise honked their car horns in support of the group as they passed through the union members' area.
Traffic slowed to a crawl as motorists and pedestrians absorbed the more than usual situation.
Organizers said today's noise barrage is just the beginning of several activities to pressure President Arroyo to step down amid allegations of election fraud, which she has repeatedly denied.#
