An effigy of President Aquino, part of the Karapatan news advisory for their activities, 10 December 2013.
Some 200 protesters stormed a Quezon City subdivision to rally outside President Benigno Aquino III‘s house on Times Street in commemoration of the 65th year of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Tuesday, according to a report from dzMM.
The demonstrators from human rights group Karapatan and government employees’ organization Courage outnumbered the policemen, who were caught by surprise by the early morning rally.
According to its media advisory released Monday, Karapatan said the schedule was for the protesters to jog from UP Diliman Oblation to the Aquino residence on Times at 6 a.m.
They will then proceed to Sto. Domingo Church to Blumentritt, where they will march to Mendiola near the President’s official residence.
Karapatan said the day-long activities demand the release of all political prisoners. They are also meant to “protest against the BS Aquino regime’s grave sins against the Filipino people” and “to account for [Aquino’s] sins of corruption, inutility, inaction, impunity, and human rights violations.”

This Communist Party of the Philippines front group protest activity. KARAPATAN (The Alliance for the Advancement of Peoples Rights) is the main CPP-affiliated human rights umbrella front organization. COURAGE (The Confederation for Unity, Recognition and Advancement of Government Employees) is CPP-associated labor union targeting public sector employees. This protest activity coincides with International Human Rights Day. The CPP and its associated front organizations often exploit key national and international holidays and other commemorative dates as backdrops for their protest/propaganda activities.
