Hundreds of supporters of church leader Apollo Quiboloy are staging a protest in front of the Senate of the Philippines at GSIS Building in Pasay, Metro Manila, as of the morning of March 5. The purpose of the action is to demand the resignation of Senator Risa Hontiveros, who leads the Senate committee investigating charges of child abuse and human trafficking against the preacher.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions around the protest site will likely continue over the coming hours. Scuffles are possible if police forcibly disperse the demonstration or activists attempt to breach security cordons.
Avoid the protest as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Allow additional time for journeys in the affected area. Heed all official directives. Leave an area at the first sign of unrest.
