Philippines: Religious activists to march in Cebu City from Fuente Osmena Circle to Basilica Minore del Santo Nino de Cebu from 13:00 July 27
Religious activists plan to stage prayer rally in Cebu City, Philippines, 13:00 July 27. Increased security, transport disruptions likely.
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu has announced a prayer rally July 27 against the proposed Absolute Divorce Act. Demonstrators plan to gather at Fuente Osmena Circle from 13:00 before marching to Basilica Minore del Santo Nino de Cebu at 15:00. Hundreds to thousands of participants could join the action.
Heightened security measures are likely along the march route. Police will probably implement road closures to facilitate the march, prompting localized transport disruptions. While the demonstration will likely pass off peacefully, minor scuffles remain possible between police and protesters.
Avoid the protest as a precaution. Follow all official instructions. Allow additional travel time near the affected locations. If scuffles break out, leave the area immediately.
