NEW YORK (Mabuhay) – At least three activists on Tuesday disrupted an event at Columbia University in New York for President Benigno Aquino III.
The activists, who were among the audience at Columbia University’s World Leaders Forum, said the President needs to explain the extrajudicial killings in the country, where the funds for Yolanda victims went, and the presence of military troops in the country.
All of them, before they were escorted outside, shouted “No peace, no justice. Stop the killings in the Philippines.”
The President, however, did not respond and just continued answering questions during the open forum. (MNS)
