Protesters from Mindanao vandalize AFP HQ walls in picket

Members of indigenous groups from Mindanao and Southern Luzon on Wednesday vandalized the walls of Armed Forces of the Philippines headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo.

 

Photos posted on Twitter by radio dzBB's Sam Nielsen showed the militants using spray paint to scrawl anti-military slogans.

 

Some of the militants demanded justice for alleged human rights violations committed by the military's Oplan Bayanihan.

Other photos showed soldiers cleaning the vandalized walls.

 

The militants also spray-painted Gate 2 and the grounds.

 

On Monday, the indigenous groups held a protest march and headed for Mendiola near Malacañang, and spent Monday night there.

 

A report on GMA News TV's "Balita Pilipinas Ngayon" said some of the protesters walked all the way from Mindanao and called for a stop to mining.

 

They also protested the presence of US soldiers, saying some members of indigenous groups were mistaken for New People's Army rebels.

 

The protesters plan to keep up their protests until Dec. 10. — Joel Locsin/VC, GMA News
