Fourth day in State of Emergency
Posted By Peter On February 27, 2006 @ 1:27 am In News | Comments Disabled
It’s now four days since the President declared Proclamation 1017 (State of National Emergency) and everything from an attempted coup, a raid of local newspaper Daily Tribune [1], arrests of prominent anti-government figures [2] and a stand off in Fort Bonifacio [3] has mucked the celebration of People Power.
Classes in all levels within the metro are suspended today (Monday). There is still heavy police and military presence in major roads including EDSA (Ortigas), South Luzon Tollway (Nichols), North Luzon Tollway (Balintawak) and roads leading to the Airport (NAIA).
Avoid the following areas which have barricades or are blocked – Fort Bonifacio (heading to Nichols), Mendiola and Malcanang, People Power Monument and EDSA shrine Ortigas.
