The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) reports that at least 2,000 people have gathered so far at the United People’s Initiative (UPI) rally at the People Power Monument on EDSA.
Authorities say they’re closely coordinating with rally marshals to manage movement within the designated rally zones. Meanwhile, over 1,700 police officers have been deployed to maintain security.
Why It Matters:
- The rally, organized by a group of retired military and police officials, highlights ongoing calls for transparency and accountability.
- A strong police presence signals the government’s intent to allow peaceful assembly while preventing disruptions.
- How the situation unfolds could shape public discourse around corruption, governance, and protest rights.
