Philippines: 'Stop imperialist plunder' - Hundreds protest Trump’s ASEAN visit
Hundreds of protesters staged a rally in central Manila, Tuesday, protesting against US President Donald Trump’s visit to the Philippines for the 2017 Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit.
Demonstrators decried US involvement in the Asia-Pacific region by burning US flags and holding banners reading "stop imperialist plunder of our ancestral lands" amongst others.
"We have been invaded for so long, abused and had our natural resources stolen, that we know that these are the things that they will discuss during the ASEAN summit," said spokesperson of the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan organisation, Lino Baez.
Duterte held bilateral talks with Trump on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Manila on Monday, amidst a gradual improvement of US-Philippines relations since Trump took office.
