MANILA, Philippines - Some 500 members of peasant and farmers groups on Friday trooped to the residence of President Benigno Aquino III in Quezon City.
A radio report said members of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas and Kasama-Southern Tagalog marched from the Quezon City Memorial Circle to the house of the President at Times Street.
Upon arriving near the president's house, the farmers staged a brief program and burned a picture of the chief executive to protest the alleged inaction of the government in distributing the coconut levy fund to the farm workers, the report added.
The protesters proceeded to the historic Don Chino Roces bridge, formerly Mendiola bridge, in Manila after a program.
