Women's Day 2012.

 

On Women's Day, Manila's streets filled up with thousands of women marching and rallying in protest alongside members of partner activist groups.

Gabriela, the largest organization of women in the country, led a march on Mendiola Bridge and Plaza Miranda against "unabated price hikes" in petroleum and other staple products as well as a rally to protest increasing U.S. military presence in the country.

(About 6,800 Filipino and U.S. troops will hold annual combat exercises in April near disputed territories in the South China Sea.)
