/ 05:58 PM May 15, 2018

The Coalition for Justice (CFJ) on Tuesday held a symbolic protest in front of the Supreme Court to show that judicial independence had died when Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno was ousted through a quo warranto petition.

Carrying a coffin with the Lady Justice inside it, priests, nuns, ladies clad in black and children holding chicks marched to the Supreme Court.

Here are the photos and videos of the rally:
