Sea of police

A sea of police officers were also seen guarding on shifts two Filipino democratic icons in anticipation to prohibit the protesters with their mobilization without permit.

No permit, no rally

Hundreds of protesters hold the line at EDSA Southbound starting from 10:30AM they were stopped by the police forces due to lack of permit to stage a program. They also brought in a truck intended to be a stage but was cut off due to the truck ban in EDSA.

However, demonstrators were able to push through after a series of tensions from the authorities. A report mentioned that there were two people arrested due to the clash.

White Plains

From morning to dawn, a stage was set for a program and concert to remember the People Power. Booths, and shops were seen at the premises that sell merchandise related to People Power Revolution and anti-corruption. People from women, religious and educational sectors are also seen in attendance.

Reaching the shrine

Protesters from EDSA South bound were able to reach the Shrine. Yet, the police did not let them through the east side of Ortigas Avenue. Leading to a traffic bottleneck at the intersection.

Once they did, when settled, the program along with the performances were staged in the road, giving way to motorists passing through east side of Ortigas, and providing access at its flyover.

Dispersal

At dusk, people were seen to disperse. A police line that led protesters from the shrine to the monument were walled by the police.
