News - MANILA,
Philippines (AP) — Thousands of Filipino
students from a Roman Catholic-run school for girls have joined a global
campaign to free more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Islamic extremists in Nigeria,
chanting “bring them back” and urging motorists in the Philippine capital to
honk their cars in solidarity.
About
4,000 students and nuns of St. Scholastica’s College spilled out of their
campus Friday, lining a busy Manila street carrying placards that read “Bring
Back Our Girls.”
They
thumped their fists in the air as they chanted and handed commuters a statement
calling for education for all girls.
Extremists
from Boko Haram — which means “Western education is sinful” — first abducted
more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria in April. Witnesses said they took 91 more
people in attacks earlier this month.
