MEDIA ADVISORY
Protest Rally at the South Korean Embassy in Makati
Leaders of communities affected by the Northrail Southrail Linkage Project being funded by the South Korean government will stage a protest rally to be held in the morning of January 25 (Friday).
Housing rights advocates will convene at the grounds of the Pacific Star Building along Makati Avenue where the South Korean Embassy is located.
The people are protesting the refusal of the Embassy to talk with them unless they coordinate with the office of the Vice President Noli de Castro in the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC). The people say they always talk with HUDCC but now want to talk to the Korean government that is funding the railroad project.
We hope that members of the media will cover the event. We wish to assure you that the activity will be peaceful.
Photo ops: Some protesters will be wearing paper house boxes on their heads to show that a roof over people’s head is a human right.
Date: January 25, 2008 (Friday)
Time: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Venue: In front of the South Korean Embassy (Pacific Star Building),
Makati Avenue, Makati City
