Supporters gather at EDSA Shrine for Duterte, police monitor

Since early Tuesday morning, Nov. 26, hundreds of people have gathered at EDSA Shrine for reasons that remain unclear.

Rev. Jerome Secillano noted that visitors consistently attend the 7 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. masses and stay inside the shrine.

Secillano emphasized that activities such as eating, drinking, carrying slogans, shouting, vlogging, making noise, sleeping, debating, and loitering are prohibited within the shrine to maintain its sanctity.

He stressed that any unruly behavior will not be tolerated and could compromise the peace and order of the House of God.

Supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte continue to gather at the EDSA Shrine, with some planning a candle-lighting ceremony.

The police are monitoring the area closely to ensure safety and prevent any disruption to traffic or pedestrian movement.

Sambayanan Secretary General Ka Eric Celiz assured that the gathering will remain peaceful and called on security forces to respect citizens' rights for peaceful gatherings as guaranteed by the Constitution.
