Among the vehicles torched by the mob that rampaged in Mendiola after storming Malacañang last week was one that bore a familiar emblem – a red cross. That emblem, like the red crescent in Islamic enclaves, has become ubiquitous in areas of conflict, impoverished communities and disaster sites throughout the globe. The humanitarian work of the International Red Cross Movement has achieved such a wide reach that May 8 is regularly observed as World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day.
