By James Konstantin Galvez, Reporter
Rival opposition groups stopped
their bickering and banded together on Friday to stage an
inter-faith protest, the biggest antigovernment protest in years, to
press the ouster of President Gloria Arroyo for alleged corruption.
Security forces went on full
alert as more than 15,000 people marched on the financial district
of Makati City in Metro Manila to call for President Arroyo’s
removal, officials said. Organizers said the number of protesters
reached 70,000 at its peak around 8 p.m. Their permit for the rally
was to lapse at the time.
