MANILA - People from all walks of life joined today's pork barrel protest. One of the participants, lawyer Eirene Aguila, described the mood in Luneta as jovial. She said protesters are ignoring the light drizzle and muddy field to show a united front against the pork barrel scam. She said politicians are not welcome. "It's very alive. People from all walks of life. While it's starting to drizzle and it's really quite muddy people haven't left," she said. Meanwhile, students also took part in today's pork barrel protests since it's a public holiday. ANC Dateline Philippines, August 26, 2013
