MANILA, Philippines -- Six student activists arrested by Manila policemen during a protest Thursday against the education summit were released Friday afternoon after Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim intervened.
Student leader Alvin Peters said Lim negotiated with police to release Joanna Rose Adenit and Emman Montado of the Philippine Normal University, Crimson Laglera of Polytechnic University of the Philippines (Anakbayan), Alvin Cerrano of PUP-League of Filipino Students, Arlo Cervantes of University of the Philippines-Diliman, and Vic del Rosario from Caloocan.
"They were released for further investigation, no charges were filed," Peters said.
