A Filipino Muslim activist uses an umbrella to shield her from the sun as she joins a rally to mark the 15th anniversary of the death of Flor Contemplacion, a maid who was executed in Singapore for murder despite appeals and outrage from the Philippines, near the Malacanang Presidential Palace in Manila, Philippines on Wednesday. Migrant International, a support group for overseas Filipino workers, said stories of abuse in foreign lands and the government's alleged neglectful response had become everyday stories during the Arroyo administration.
