Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada has said he is allowing the so-called Black Friday this week of anti-Marcos forces. He, however, warned them not to resort of violence. Joel Coronel, Manila Police District (MPD) head, said 300 policemen will be deployed to help ensure a peaceful and orderly gathering. “We will allow the protest actions provided the rallyists will not resort to violence or destruction of property. “And on Friday, depending on the projected strength of the rallyists, we will be deploying a minimum of 200 up to 300 CDM personnel at the Quirino Grandstand, and also traffic policemen,” Coronel said.
