FEU, Arellano students stage walkouts

Students from Far Eastern University (FEU) and Arellano University staged walkout protests Friday afternoon against the arrival of US President Donald Trump and the construction of Pax Silica in New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac.

At FEU, an estimated 1,000 students gathered in front of Gate 4 along Morayta Street in Manila, holding a brief program on the sidewalks and center island.

School guards managed traffic as students lambasted Trump's arrival and voiced opposition to the construction of Pax Silica.

Student leaders also criticized the government for covering up depressed areas, accusing authorities of hiding the living conditions of poor Metro Manila residents.

The protest ended peacefully, with students returning to the campus and resuming their classes.
