Thousands of people in
the Philippines have demonstrated
against a move to revise the constitution, which they say could extend the presidential term in office.
Left-wing lawmakers and religious groups joined opposition protesters in a march through central Manila Friday, with police on high alert.
Supporters of
President Gloria Arroyo have held public hearings in congress on amending the constitution. The president's opponents said the amendments would enable her to stay in office
beyond 2010, when her six-year term expires. source:
