INC Protest Moved to Manila After QC Permit Revoked

by

The Iglesia ni Cristo has announced it will move its planned protest from Quezon City to Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila after reports that its rally permit for a Thursday demonstration in Quezon City was revoked. The event is now scheduled to take place at the Manila location. This relocation significantly impacts Metro Manila commuters, as the original protest site in Quezon City would have caused major traffic disruptions, while the new venue in Manila may affect different routes. It is a major civic event organized by one of the Philippines’ largest religious groups, drawing public attention to issues of religious freedom and public assembly. The protest has been relocated to Liwasang Bonifacio, a known freedom park in Manila where demonstrations can be held without a permit, so attendees should be prepared for large crowds and potential security presence. No specific time for the protest was provided in the announcement, so participants should monitor local news for updates.

This practice can be a nuisance for motorists, as workers may not accept a refusal for their unsolicited service, and residents are concerned it could spread and worsen in Quezon City, mirroring the problem in Manila. The specific location mentioned is the intersection of Quezon Avenue and Agham Road near the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC), where a resident has observed the cleaners about twice a week.
