UNIVERSIDAD DE MANILA – The prestigious university located in the country’s capital urged its students not to participate in rallies.
A day after the election last May 9, hundreds of students held a rally in front of the main office of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Palacio del Gobernador, Intramuros, Manila.
The students expressed their disappointment due to the results of the election especially the presidential race which has been dominated by presumptive President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
