'Kung sa Tsina nagkaroon tayo ng Tiananmen Square noong 1989, sa Pilipinas naman tayo ay nakaranas sa deka-dekada ng Batas Militar,' said protest leader Benjamin Alvero.
MANILA, Philippines – Protesters gathered at Boy Scout Circle, Quezon City on Monday, June 5, to call for accountability and urge Filipinos to learn from the Tiananmen Square incident of 1989.
The Chinese student protesters were violently dispersed by state forces on June 4, 1989, in an effort to suppress the pro-democracy movement that began to take shape. Roan, the lead organizer of the tableaus, said that the incident should be memorable not for the deaths on that day, but for showing the capability of the people to call for government accountability.
Ang mga services na meron tayo ngayon, hindi po ‘yan binibigay ng libre. ‘Yan ay binibigay ng gobyerno dahil may mga tao o mamamayang nangangailangan nitoBLINDFOLDED.
