A brief scuffle ensued after progressive groups led by the Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) breached police line guarding the US Embassy on Feb. 25, Tuesday. The groups condemned President Aquino’s announcement on Friday that an agreement allowing the return of US military bases into the country is nearing completion.
The agreement, will be presented to US President Obama when he visits the country. They vowed that similar protests will greet Pres. Barack Obama’s visit this coming April.
Members of Manila Police District made several attempts to prevent the protesters from reaching the embassy area. But protesters resisted, and were able to hold program right in front of the US embassy.
The group also condemned the alleged “unseen hand” of the US government in elite-sponsored demonstrations in Venezuela to force President Maduro to resign.
