From GMA News (Oct 18): Military blasts protesting indigenous peoples, militant groups with water cannons

The military on Tuesday morning greeted indigenous peoples (IPs) and militant groups with water cannons during a protest action at the Armed Forces of the Philippines main headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

Photos posted on the Manilakbayan 2016's Facebook page show the protesters being blasted by water cannons at Camp Aguinaldo's Gate 2, facing EDSA.




At least 3,000 IPs, Moro and militant groups marched to Camp Aguinaldo to insist their demand for the military to pullout its troops from their communities. They are also calling for justice for the alleged killings of their members.

The IP groups started their march to Manila last October 8. They arrived  last week, October 13 and are currently staying at the University of the Philippines' Diliman campus in Quezon City.
