Philippines: Activists plan to protest outside Chinese Consulate in Metro Manila from 10:00 June 11

Activists from the Akbayan Party plan to protest outside the Chinese Consulate in the Makati area of Metro Manila from 10:00 June 11. The action is to denounce alleged Chinese aggression against Filipino vessels in disputed areas of the South China Sea. Dozens to several hundred people could participate in the gathering.

Heightened security measures are likely around the Chinese Consulate June 11; related measures could prompt localized transport disruptions. While the demonstration will likely pass off peacefully, minor skirmishes remain possible between police and protesters, particularly if the latter breaches security cordons.
