 Washington has also provided $30 million to strengthen the Philippine military in addition to helping establish a national coast watch center to help protect the country's 36,000-kilometer (22,370-mile) coastline, Aquino said.
~Several people were injured when riot police clashed with thousands of left-wing and trade union protesters who were seeking higher wages, land reform and a halt to alleged human rights violations.
  The result of this conflict will insure thousands of left-wing and trade union protesters who are seeking higher wages, land reform, and a halt to human rights violations will not receive higher wages, will not have land reform and there will be no halt to alleged human rights violations.
