Former Filipino comfort woman (sex slave) Amonita Balajadia, 72, shouts anti-government slogans during a protest outside the Philippine International Convention Centre (PICC) where the 3rd Informal Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is being held in Manila November 28. The group is wearing black shirts to signify their grief since they became wartime military victims of rape and sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. Japanese Prime Minister Obuchi was in Manila attending the opening of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations-plus-three Summit Meeting, which is part of the Third ASEAN Informal Summit. RR/PB
