Teddy Casino Shares Sentiments on the US Embassy Protest Injuring Civilians

One of the country's well-known protester, former senatorial candidate Teddy Casino shares his sentiments regarding the hottest issue today, the US Embassy protest that resulted some injuries among protesters.



A member of the Philippine National Police (PNP) who was tasked provide security and maximum tolerance during the protest used his vehicle that ran over some of the left-wing protesters at an anti-Us rally outside the US Embassy in Manila.

According to Teddy Casino, the anti-Us rally incident is one of the worst he have ever witnessed wherein at least three people were injured during the incident.


Some netizens defended the cop who attacked the protesters because he panicked during the incident when the protesters nearly control the vehicle he was using.

Although there are some videos circulating online about the incident, some netizens questions the video by various news media outlet because it only shows the later part of the incident and they did not show the earlier happenings when the police was attacked by the protesters by ramming the vehicle and spraying the windshields.

Here's the Complete Post of Teddy Casino:

Marami na akong napagdaanang dispersal ng rally. Muntik nang tamaan ng bala sa Mendiola, napukpok sa SONA, nabugbog sa EDSA. Pero itong pagsagasa sa mga raliyista sa US embassy kanina ay isa sa pinakamalupit kong nakita.

Biro mo, patapos na ang rali. Naghahanda na para umuwi ang mga tao. Pero ang mga pulis, palibhasa nanggagalaiti dahil nalusutan sila ng mga militante, nagpahabol ng tear gas, pukpok, at paulit-ulit na pagsagasa ng mga raliyista gamit ang mismong van ng PNP.

Masyado na bang nasanay itong mga pulis sa pagpatay ng mga adik at pusher na kahit sino na lang na hindi nila kursonada ay pwede nang patayin? Tingin ba nila na pati pagbundol ng mga nagpoprotestang Lumad galing Mindanao ay sagot ni Digong? Ano ito, martial law?

Pero mas grabe sa mga liblib na lugar sa probinsya. Doon walang media, walang FB. Kamakailan lamang dalawang lider magsasaka ang pinatay sa Compostela Valley ng mga para-miitary group ng Philippine Army. 

Tang ina. Mukhang the more things change, the more they remain the same.#
