UP students ‘attack’ Abad

MALACAÑANG on Thursday denounced the humiliating attack on Budget Secretary Florencio Abad at the University of the Philippines campus in Diliman, Quezon City, on Wednesday night.

Abad was mobbed by a group of angry students after attending a forum on the national budget. He was heckled and confronted by a few students on his way out of the venue. At least one student grabbed his collar while others threw crumpled paper at him while shouting anti-government slogans.
