Hundreds Protest Ahead of Trump's Visit to the Philippines
----------------------------------------------------------

Prior to Trump's arrival in the Philippines, hundreds of protesters
gathered outside the U.S. Embassy. Police fired water cannons to
disperse the protesters. This is Renato Reyes, the head of the New
Patriotic Alliance.

Renato Reyes: "Trump is no friend to the Filipino people. He brings war.
He brings economic impositions. He wants to bring the U.S. 'war on
terror' in the Philippines. He wants to drag us in the conflict of North
Korea. He wants to bring back U.S. bases in the Philippines. These are
things that are not beneficial to the Filipino people."
