Philippines: Activists protesting outside the Kingdom of Jesus Christ The Name Above Every Name cathedral in Davao City as of the morning of June 10
Increased security amid ongoing protest outside cathedral in Davao City, Philippines, morning of June 10. Localized disruptions likely.
Hundreds of supporters of church leader Apollo Quiboloy are staging a protest outside the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) The Name Above Every Name cathedral in Davao City as of the morning of June 10. The demonstration is in solidarity with the pastor amid a hundred police officers reportedly serving a warrant against him at the KOJC cathedral. Lane closures are reportedly affecting the Pan-Philippine Highway; traffic congestion is occurring in front of the cathedral compound.
Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions around the protest site will likely continue over the coming hours. Police could enact further road closures around the area, which may affect traffic to the nearby Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO). 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, especially if travelling via DVO. Heed all official directives. Leave an area at the first sign of unrest.
