                    [Summary] => 



Following a violent confrontation between rallyists and policemen that resulted in injuries to six crowd control personnel, mostly women, Manila Police District (MPD) will now allow its female officers manning the frontlines in rallies to carry truncheons.


The arming of riot personnel was the response of the MPD to the aggressive stance of rallyists, who attack law enforcers, even women, in their attempt to sow chaos and disorder in the streets, according to MPD director Chief Superintendent Pedro Bulaong.
