Filipino protesters hold flowers during a rally to mourn for the victims of recent typhoons, at the foot of the historic Mendiola bridge, just outside the Malacanang presidential palace in Manila, Philippines, on Thursday Nov. 5, 2009. The group is blaming the government of Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for it's alleged neglect in rescue, relief and rehabilitation operations during the storms which left hundreds dead and thousands homeless.
