Activists to gate crash East Asian Summit in Clark, Pamapanga

Hundreds of activists belonging to militant groups SANLAKAS, Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino (BMP), Partido Lakas ng Masa (PLM) and Piglas Kababaihan will brave the tight security blockade from La Salle Taft to PICC (Philippine International Convention Center), where the East Asian Summit will take place today at November 14, 2017.

The groups have organized a caravan from Quezon City to Clark to denounce the continued US intervention in the region as manifested in its arms-dealing among ally countries, including the Philippines, to further its War of Terror.

The East Asian Summit comes a day after the ASEAN Summit in Manila attended by at least 19 heads of state.

The caravan will depart from Quezon City at 7:30 AM from PNB Quezon Memorial Circle Branch (corner Kalayaaan Ave.) and is expected to arrive at La Salle Taft by 9:00 AM.
