About 2,000 protesters, organized by Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-Northern Mindanao Region, staged a short rally in Opol town, Misamis Oriental, yesterday after their contingent was flagged down at a checkpoint. The contingent was on its way to Iligan City to join a bigger group of protesters for the Mindanao-wide People’s State of the Nation Address. Photo by Nitz Arancon
