Vol. VIII, No. 24, July 20-26, 2008

Anger. Student leaders from various colleges and universities present their reasons for calling for Arroyo’s ouster. They simultaneously tore apart papers with Arroyo’s face.

Alternative street classes. Students listen to a youth leader in one of the discussion groups at Plaza Miranda

Black. Graffiti artists use black ink for Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s face; it depicts all the “evil things” she has brought the nation.

Different music genre, same sentiments. Rock and hip-hop bands perform to call for Arroyo’s removal. Water containers are used as percussion instruments.

Defiance. Blocked by police car patrols, protesters take the road leading to Nicanor Reyes Street. The front liners push with their bodies against the policemen’s shields.

Hand gestures. Students give a thumbs-down sign to policemen blocking them, and raised fists against the occupant of Malacañang.
