More than 200 protesters from De La Salle University - Manila (DLSU-M), De La Salle College of St. Benilde, and St. Scholastica College (SSC) staged a noise barrage last 22 February along Taft Ave. in support of upholding the truth and "stamping out corruption in the government".

Dubbed as Busina para sa Katotohanan, the participants produced different sounds from beating drums to blowing whistles. Moreover, they also convinced the motorists to blew their horns.

While the DLSU-M participants gathered in front of their campus, those who came from DLS CSB and SSC stretched a line from Jolibee-Taft to Tapa King in Estrada St.

The protesters who are composed of students, faculty, personnel, and church officials gathered for a prayer vigil right after the noise barrage. Similar to what happened in La Sale Green Hllls last Sunday, the participants recited the Lasallian prayer and sang Bayan Ko.

Meanwhile, series of noise barrage were also held in University of Sto Tomas in Espana and Ateneo de Manila University in Katipunan, QUezon City. A noise barrage was also organized in

University of St. La Salle (USLS) dubbed as Busina nga naga pangita sang kamatuoran (Busina Para sa Katotohanan).
