Labor activists demonstrating at Liwasang Bonifacio, Manila, Philippines, as of the morning of Nov. 27. Increased security likely.
Around 250 labor activists affiliated with various organizations are staging a rally at Liwasang Bonifacio (Bonifacio Square), Ermita District, Manila, as of the morning of Nov. 27. Participants have declared their plans to rally in Manila Nov. 30.
Heightened security is likely around the protest site. Localized transport disruptions are possible if activists block roadways. Although violence is unlikely, isolated scuffles are possible if police attempt to disperse demonstrators forcibly.
Avoid the protest as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Allow additional time for journeys in the area. Follow all official directives. Leave the area at the first sign of a security disturbance.
