Towards the end of the day, I noticed more hostility towards journalists covering the protests. At one point, one police officer tried to stop me from taking pictures by pushing his riot shield towards me and my cameras.
Journalism is not a crime.
We were taking pictures of police officers trying to detain a protester yesterday in Mendiola when suddenly, they started grabbing and hitting a colleague, Zedrich Xylak Madrid, who was simply there photographing the scene.
Those pleas were not exclusive to members of the media. In most arrests and detentions, you would hear people shouting "Wag niyong saktan!" and "Tao yan, may karapatan yan!"
