Demonstrators jam Makati to demand Arroyo resignation

[dArKeR]

About 10,000 protesters marched on the Philippines' main financial district yesterday, demanding the sacking of President Gloria Arroyo and condemning the defeat of a move to oust the country's chief justice.

Ignoring Arroyo's calls for reconciliation, the protesters occupied the main avenue of Manila's Makati financial center, snarling rush-hour traffic.

The march came after the Supreme Court and the House of Representatives this week killed an attempt by minority congressmen to have chief justice Hilario Davide impeached and tried in the Senate on charges of fraud.

Davide is blamed for legitimizing the removal of former president Joseph Estrada from power in a popular military-backed uprising in 2001 that installed former vice-president Arroyo as president.
