Workers in the Philippines demonstate against government policies

Amid continuing unemployment, widespread poverty, and the killing of labour activists, a coalition of groups, including trade unions, demonstrated against the policies of the present Philippine government. The protesters were met by a huge force of police who prevented the march from reaching its destination. Many demonstrators were injured and some were arrested.
