Hundreds of people marched in the Philippine capital on Saturday, protesting what they said was a rising number of extrajudicial killings and other injustices under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The protesters, led by a Philippines-based rights group, gathered at a public square in Manila before marching toward the presidential palace to demand justice for victims. Police estimated around 800 protesters took part in the rally, which coincided with International Human Rights Day. The protesters held a brief programme near the palace, then dispersed peacefully shortly after noon.
