                    [Summary] => It wasn’t a police raid. Just President Arroyo on her latest campaign sortie in downtown Manila.


Illegal sidewalk vendors on Ilaya street in Divisoria were caught by surprise yesterday when the President and her running mate Sen. Noli de Castro arrived with the blare of police sirens, making them think it was a raid.


What actually made the vendors jump to their feet, shut down their colorful umbrellas and gather their wares occupying most of the sidewalk was the sight of Manila Mayor Lito Atienza, who they thought was on an inspection trip to the market.


They realized it was a false alarm when they caught sight of Mrs. Arroyo, De Castro and Kris Aquino shaking hands with the people and waving at them.
