ZAMBOANGA CITY: Soldiers and

which coincided with President Gloria Arroyo’s State of the Nation
Address (SONA), organizers said.
Amira Lidasan, of the human
rights group called Suara Bangsamoro, said policemen dispersed
dozens of students and political activists who were holding a rally
to protest the high prices of basic commodities and the poverty
situation of the country under Arroyo’s seven-year rule.
