Protest against US “interference” marks Filipino-American Friendship Day

Militant groups marked Filipino-American Friendship Day — July 4 — with a protest outside the US Embassy in Manila.

Today’s protest, which also coincided with the USA’s Independence Day, was in opposition to American “interference” in Philippine affairs.

Tension mounted at the corner of Mabini Street and UN Avenue when protesters came up against a phalanx of policemen.

According to Sam Nielsen of Super Radyo DZBB, the anti-riot police pursued a policy of “maximum tolerance”. No injuries have been reported.

At a rally on UN Avenue, speakers denounced the participation of the US military in the Marawi City crisis.

As we have previously reported, US special forces have been offering technical assistance in the ongoing fight against Islamic State-affiliated jihadists led by the local Maute terror group.
