President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. stated that his only concern regarding protests is when individuals intend to harm others.
During a press conference following the 32nd APEC Summit in Busan, South Korea, Marcos addressed concerns about planned protests against government corruption.
He expressed worry about agitators who might use demonstrations to cause trouble and harm people, citing the example of those bringing Molotov cocktails.
Marcos mentioned that authorities are aware of and monitoring such individuals.
He recalled an incident on September 21 where several people were arrested for allegedly engaging in violence during a protest in Mendiola, Manila.
The President urged those planning to resort to violence to abandon such intentions, warning that it would lead to disruptions and potential harm to fellow demonstrators.
