UPI says QC LGU did not give permit for Day 3 of rally at People Power Monument
The Quezon City government denied the United People's Initiative (UPI) a permit for a third day of their anti-corruption rally at the People Power Monument.
The UPI cited the removal of tents, stage, and barriers by the Department of Public Order and Safety as forcing an early cessation of their program.
UPI lead convenor Romeo Poquiz called the city government's decision "clearly a harassment" but stated they would "obey to avoid confrontation but continue the fight."
The rally, comprising at least 1,000 retired police and military personnel, calls for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and legislators to end corruption amid anomalies in flood control projects.
The group had previously held rallies on Sunday and Monday, with permits granted for both days.
