Description

Few in number but strong in voice, these Filipino protesters are out in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
They argue they too suffer inequality with economic policies that only benefit the top 1 percent of the population.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) NEW PATRIOTIC ALLIANCE CHAIRPERSON, RENATO REYES, SAYING:
"We feel that we have to stand in solidarity with the American people in this very important fight because we are also affected by the global and economic crisis that is gripping the United States and Europe right now. And we have to take measures to protect our own economy against the exploitation of foreign banks, and big multinational corporations."
Occupy Wall Street started last July and has spread across the U.S.
Several protests are planned in major cities on Saturday.
