MANILA, Philippines — The Manila Police District (MPD) on Wednesday said three individuals were ordered arrested by a court in connection with a Labor Day rally last May.
In a statement, the MPD said the Metropolitan Trial Court issued a warrant of arrest against the three individuals, whom the police did not name, for tumults and other disturbances of public order under Article 153 of the Revised Penal Code.
The police explained that the charges stemmed from the purported assault of a police officer when authorities blocked rallyists along T. M. Kalaw Avenue in Ermita on the way to the United States Embassy just blocks away.
