Student protesters' hands cast a shadow on a painted slogan during a
rally on Mendiola Bridge near the Presidential Palace in Manila,
Philippines on Monday against the government's alleged
all-out war in Mindanao in southern Philippines. The government
disaster agency reported late last week that more than 500,000 people
have been displaced or have lost their homes and livelihoods since
violence erupted last month following the aborted signing of a
preliminary accord with the rebels on a Muslim homeland. (AP/Bullit Marquez)
