Activists to stage bicycle rally in Makati, Philippines, 17:00 July 14. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Event
Activists from the Make it Safer Movement (MISMO) plan to stage a bicycle rally from Ayala Triangle Gardens to the Sultan Kudarat Monument in Makati, Metro Manila, 17:00 July 14. The action is to denounce Ayala Land, a property developer, for reneging on agreed safety measures for cyclists. Previous similar demonstrations drew several dozen participants.
Police will likely maintain heightened security along the march route and may disperse overly disruptive crowds. While the protest will likely remain peaceful, minor isolated skirmishes cannot be ruled out. Localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route.
Advice
Exercise caution along the rally route as a precaution. Use alternative routes to circumvent the bicycle convoy if necessary. Allow additional travel time to reach nearby destinations. Heed all official security and traffic advisories.
