Calm returns to Manila streets after riot

Manila residents awoke under a ‘‘state of rebellion’’ today, more stunned than reassured after Philippines police quelled riots that left at least six dead.

As relative calm returned to the capital’s always-chaotic streets, residents expressed fear of more violence and shock at the bloodshed as supporters of ousted President Joseph Estrada clashed with security forces. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared a ‘‘state of rebellion’’ giving police powers to arrest without warrant.
