Pres. Rodrigo Duterte clarified that on September 21, the day that marks the 45th anniversary of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos’ martial law nationwide, was not declared as a holiday.
Pres. Duterte was merely declaring September 21, Thursday, as “National Day of Protest,” which will allow any Filipino citizens to demonstrate mass protests all throughout the country. “September 21 is not a holiday. I have declared it as a [National] Day of Protest. Lahat ng gustong mag protests against the government, police, military and everyone, come down here and launch a rally,” the President said after his wake visit to a policeman who died in a anti-drug operation in Caloocan City.
“Even us in the government, I will also protest because we have meager salary. We don’t have equipment. We don’t have allowance. Let’s all stage massive protests,” he added.
