- EMMANUEL TUPAS

At least 46 people were injured after demonstrators and police officers clashed in rallies held in Manila during the commemoration of Bonifacio Day yesterday.

Bagong Alyansang Makabayan secretary general Raymond Palatino said 37 activists, mostly youth and workers, were injured, including one who suffered a laceration on the head that was closed using surgical staples.

National Capital Region Police Office director Brig. Gen. Anthony Aberin said nine police officers assigned to the Manila Police District (MPD) were injured in the commotion.

Five of them were hit on their heads and other parts of their bodies when members of progressive groups clashed with them along Recto Avenue, but were treated on site, according to MPD spokesman Maj. Philipp Ines.

Aberin said the demonstrators started their activity at 8:45 a.m.
