Protestors, mostly students, shout slogans during a rally outside the US embassy in Manila, Philippines, February 3, 2009. The protestors denounced here on Tuesday the role the US played in the global economic crisis and its damage to the livelihood of Philippine workers. Some 800,000 Filipinos are "vulnerable" to job losses this year amid the global financial crisis, said Philippine's Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ralph Recto on Monday. [Xinhua]
