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.
