Filipino protesters hold cupcake candles and shadow cut-outs of President Benigno Aquino III near the Malacanang presidential palace, a day before the latter's 55th birthday. Each cut-out contains topics that hound the nation, one of which is the recent Mamasapano clash, where suspected Malaysian bombmaker Zulkifri "Marwan" Abdhir was reportedly killed. The hashtag "#NasaanAngPangulo" reads in English as, "Where is the President?" © Richard James Mendoza/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
